AXSEM picks Berkeley Design

SANTA CLARA, US: Berkeley Design Automation Inc., provider of the Analog FastSPICE (AFS) unified circuit verification platform for advanced analog and RF integrated circuits (ICs), announced that AXSEM, a leading fabless manufacturer of ISM RFIC, has selected the AFS Platform for RF-CMOS wireless transceiver design and verification.

"We benchmarked the AFS Platform for our mixed-signal/RF products against various other tools," said Monika Brogle, Chief Technology Officer at AXSEM in the press release.

"Berkeley Design Automation convinced us with identical results 5x-10x faster than traditional SPICE and at a reasonable cost. Switching to the AFS Platform enables us to verify our circuits much more thoroughly, enhance our design productivity, and create complex products without re-spins. We are committed to delivering RFIC with best in class performance. Berkeley Design Automation is the right tool set to achieve this goal."
