Ansoft Corporation (NASDAQ:ANST) announced today the release of
Nexxim� v3.5, the latest version of Ansoft�s high-performance
circuit simulator. Nexxim v3.5 continues its emphasis on simulation
speed, capacity and accuracy, while introducing new analyses and
Verilog A support, further enhancing the simulation of
high-performance electronic design, from signal integrity analysis
to high-frequency ICs used in communications systems. Building upon
the software architecture and success of the previous releases,
Nexxim v3.5 introduces Oscillator, Circuit Envelope, Periodic
Transfer Function, Monte-Carlo and Loadpull analyses to its
transient, harmonic balance and noise (time variant and phase)
simulation capabilities. Additionally, Nexxim v3.5 natively
supports Verilog A, which adds a new dimension of design simulation
by enabling system descriptions other than electrical. �Our latest
enhancements to Nexxim are critical to the full characterization of
multi-gigabit computer and communication backplanes as well as
RFICs,� said Dr. Mark Reichelt, director of product development.
�The additional analyses, such as oscillator analysis and circuit
envelope, address the autonomous source and digitally modulated
circuits found specifically in communication ICs, while other
capabilities, such as convolution, state-space methods and model
caching, provide an efficient method for handling the larger
frequency-based models that are finding their way into time-based
signal integrity analysis.� New feature highlights of Nexxim v3.5
include: -- Oscillator analysis -- New circuit envelope analysis
for device operation with a modulation bandwidth that is orders of
magnitude lower than the clock frequency -- Periodic transfer
function analysis -- Monte-Carlo analysis available from within the
Ansoft Designer UI or other established IC design flows --
Co-simulation of Harmonic Balance and linear network circuit
analyses within Ansoft Designer's system-level test bench --
Shooting-method -- Native Verilog A support -- Enhanced state-space
model with caching for fast re-simulation -- New design utilities
-- Resonant frequency search for Oscillator designs -- Smith tool
supports impedance matching; noise, gain and stability circle
plotting -- Loadpull analysis for large signal matching network
development -- Extended noise analysis and post-processing
