Electrical Design

The key software for an analog electrical designer is a simulator. With present day technologies, however, there are certain characteristics that are vital for such a tool. It must fully support the latest models, it should allow composite analog and digital net-lists to run ('gates' and transistors in the same net-list), it should converge satisfactorily, and it should be able to provide straightforward approaches to analysis of such aspects as jitter and power consumption. Further, it should be closely integrated with the schematic capture tool so that compatible net-lists are generated directly and so that back-annotation of simulation parameters can be displayed on the schematic.

SMASH is such a tool. It is closely coupled with SPE (allowing compatible net-listing in VHDL or Verilog, for example, and providing back-annotation), and offers the wide range of features demanded by electrical designers in state-of-the-art technologies. SMASH has been used by Matricus and associated companies as its sole in-house simulation tool for many years.
