SpiceCheck does netlist debugging and verification

SpiceCheck is an analysis, verification, and debugging (AVAD) suite for analogue and mixed-signal designers.

Sandwork Design's SpiceCheck is the latest product in the company's analysis, verification, and debugging (AVAD) suite for analogue and mixed-signal designers.

SpiceCheck performs netlist debugging from syntax verification to circuit-aware static checking and allows integrated circuits (ICs) and systems on chip (SoCs) designers to perform global checks on traditionally difficult-to-find design issues.

SpiceCheck is a fully Tcl programmable netlist-driven tool for static electrical rule checking that is also capable of dynamic waveform probing.

SpiceCheck can be customised to detect difficult issues such as missing level shifters in multisupply designs.

Today's low-power, high-speed chips commonly involve multirail voltage sources, internal charge pumps and multiple transistor process models that present verification challenges for designers.

With traditional dynamic Spice simulation, it is difficult to ensure that low-voltage devices are not present in high-voltage rails; that no leakage devices appear at multirail interface blocks; and, at the physical level, that no signal integrity problem remains as a result of high resistance capacitance RC parasitics.

SpiceCheck allows designers to address these challenges efficiently.
