Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the latest release of Genesys 2014, its industry-leading, affordable RF simulation and synthesis software. Designed for circuit and system designers, the Agilent EEsof EDA software features breakthrough modulated RF analysis as well as enhancements to its powerful, custom-filter direct synthesis technology. Using Genesys 2014, designers can now simulate digitally modulated RF signals like those found in today\’s defense and consumer wireless applications as easily as they do traditional analog RF signals. Unlike other simulators that provide only single-value results for EVM, BER or ACPR, Genesys 2014 delivers breakthrough system budget analysis of these digital modulation metrics for every component in the system block diagram, all in a single pass. This provides RF designers...

Incisive Enterprise Simulator Multi-language simulation fuels testbench automation, low-power, metric driven verification, and mixed-signal verificationIncisive Enterprise Simulator (IES) provides the most comprehensive IEEE language support with unique capabilities supporting the intent, abstraction, and convergence needed to speed silicon realization. IES is the core engine for low-power verification working closely with Conformal LP, the digital engine for mixed-signal verification working with Virtuoso simulators, the testbench engine for simulation acceleration with Xtreme and Palladium, and the RTL engine working with TLM verification solutions.When digital simulation became commonplace in the 1980s, flows were simple: RTL, then gate, then implement. Since then, simulation has matured into verification and has become the critical means to enable productivity, predictability, and quality in complex FPGAs, ASICs, and...

Engineering change orders (ECOs) have a wide variety of implementations that range from adding or removing logic in a design to more subtle changes such as cleaning up routing for signal integrity. All ECOs are focused on delivering products to market as fast as possible with minimal risk to correctness and schedule. ECOs can be a time of high stress, long work hours, and uncertainty. Even if the logic change is implemented in the netlist, there might not be enough spare gates on the mask to implement the change. BenefitsProvides faster turnaround time by minimizing manual intervention and eliminating time-consuming iterationsGenerates early estimates on ECO feasibility by quantifying designer intentImplements complex ECOs that are typically not attempted manuallyEnables front-end designers...
