This software is a mixed-signal, multi-language simulator that allows users to design and simulate IC or PCB circuits. It offers a comprehensive range of features and capabilities that enable users to create high-quality designs that meet their specific needs.
One of the key benefits of Dolphin Smash is its sensitivity to dispersion analysis, which can provide a quick and accurate solution for problems related to design for yield, manufacturability, and robust design of nano-electronic analog circuits. This analysis is thousands of times faster than Monte Carlo analysis and can provide designers with useful insights into each component's contribution to total dispersion. This feature can make design debugging much more straightforward.
Another exciting feature of Dolphin Smash is its ability to enable power consumption analysis before Place & Route through SCROOGE. With SPEF back-annotation, the software can provide users with parasitic capacitance back-annotation for an accurate power consumption analysis after Place & Route. This capability can take into account the routing capacitance for cell interconnection wires and clock trees, which represent a considerable portion of the consumed power.
Dolphin Smash makes it easy for users to export simulation results into standard VCD or CSDF formats, making it easier to integrate with other EDA solutions. Additionally, the software can also import and display VCD or CSDF results.
In conclusion, Dolphin Smash is a powerful, multifunctional simulator that can assist users in creating robust designs with optimization for yield and manufacturability in mind. The mixed-signal, multi-language features and sensitivity to dispersion analysis make it a valuable tool for designers looking to create high-quality IC and PCB designs.
