Analog FastSpice RF delivers noise analysis for RF circuits
By Rick Nelson, Editor-in-Chief -- EDN, 12/22/2009
Berkeley Design Automation Inc has announced AFS RF (Analog FastSpice radio frequency), which Chief Operating Officer Paul Estrada calls the industry’s first true Spice-accurate noise-analysis tool for RF circuits. AFS RF accurately analyzes nanometer-scale device noise impact for all types of prelayout and postlayout circuits, ensuring early insight into its impact on performance, power, and area.Before the emergence of AFS RF, designers had to use limited-spectrum RF tools that can only approximate device noise impact on RF circuits, Estrada explains. Such approximations are increasingly inaccurate with decreasing process geometries, often becoming grossly inaccurate in nanometer-scale circuits. Circuits with sharp transitions, such as switched-capacitor filters, charge pumps, and dividers; high-frequency circuits, such as RF front-end blocks; and oscillators are especially sensitive to these inaccuracies. Without accurate analysis, designers must include expensive design margin or risk missing specifications in silicon.
Using the industry’s first full-spectrum device-noise-analysis engine, Analog FastSpice RF provides true Spice accuracy for every run. For complex circuits, it is five to 10 times faster than traditional RF tools that can only approximate device-noise effects. AFS RF features the DNA (device noise-analysis) Advisor to characterize DNA requirements, high-capacity periodic-steady-state analysis for greater than 100,000-element postlayout circuits, full-spectrum periodic-noise analysis with true Spice accuracy, full-spectrum total oscillator-device-noise analysis capability with phase and amplitude noise, and harmonic balance for fast single-tone analysis of moderately nonlinear circuits.

MIXDES 2010 paper submission deadline
The deadline for the MIXDES paper registration passes in approximately in 6 weeks (Feb 28th, 2010). The most current information about the conference, regular and special sessions invited talks etc. can be found at the in the Final Call for Papers.
This year the conference will be organized in Wroclaw, one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Poland. It is located in southwestern Poland, 160 km from Germany and 120 km from the Czech Republic. It is well equipped with communication facilities: international airport, railways and highways, so is quite easy to get there.
As in previous years the papers should be prepared following the paper formatting requirements, however the format may be corrected till the final paper versions deadline (May 15th, 2010). The paper registration and updates should be proceeded by your personal account at the conference web page after log on.
With further questions please contact Dr. Mariusz Orlikowski, the MIXDES 2010 Conference Secretary.
