DOLPHIN Integration upgrades SLED and SMASH delivering block-busting innovation
Grenoble, France, July 2, 2010
Last week, Dolphin Integration delivered block-busting upgrades of their schematic editor SLED optimized with their multi-domain simulator SMASH.
SLED 1.6 provides the means for logic and analog designers to easily and graphically assemble multi-level and multi-domain designs. Handling the disciplines of pins has been integrated into the symbol editor in order to deliver straightforward and secure multi-domain schematic editing with built-in multi-language netlisting in SPICE, HDL and HDL-AMS. Discipline handling prepares the extension with automatic design checking to ensure that only compatible pins are interconnected, such as but not limited to, multi-domain designs which mix mechanical and electrical signals, multi-voltage designs mixing 3.3V and 1.8V signals, etc.
A specific highlight has also been focused on enhancing teamwork awareness with the possibility to share configurations of Design Rule Checkers and to automatically detect external modifications in a design.
SMASH 5.15 benefits from major improvements in terms of speed and language compliance, principally for Verilog and Verilog-A descriptions in addition to SPICE.
In conformance with previous announcement, this release offers the capability to perform template-based equivalence checking. Designers can either check that the implementation of an analog block matches its specification, or that a behavioral analog model of a block is equivalent to its implementation. This functionality can also be used for verifying integration rules such as the Jitter characteristics of a PLL, or the SNR of a CODEC.
