資料介紹

Smash 為法國Dolphin Integration公司所發展之混合信號兼顧多層次模擬軟體， 能完全符合混合類比與邏輯訊號電路的需求。混合訊號指的是Smash能處理類比或是連續時間的訊號與不連續時間的訊號，例如: 邏輯(二進制binary)或數位(十進制decimal)。多層次指的是Smash 並沒有被限制在某些modeling level 上，即Smash 能處理電晶體層次、閘階層次、功能層次、行為層次並與來自於類比與邏輯的子電路加以混合模擬。意味著Smash可用在任何層次上的設計作一些精確的電路修正，這表示你將能輕易處理任何復雜性的電路。另外Smash 有強大的多語言功能，能與SPICE、Verilog-HDL、VHDL、ABCD(C-language)與VHDL-AMS相容，可以將類比區塊以SPICE 語法描述與數位區塊以Verilog-HDL 語法或VHDL 語法描述的設計作多層次混合信號模擬。 Smash 能快速地模擬驗證所設計的混合信號晶片，非常適合用來解決混合信號晶片設計問題，以提供高效能的混合信號晶片設計模擬驗證環境，減化復雜電路模擬驗證的程式，縮短晶片設計的時程。










Dolphin Integration is up to their charter as the most adaptive and lasting creator in the Microelectronics Design Industry to "enable mixed signal Systems-on-Chip". It stars a quality management stimulating reactivity for innovation as well as independence and partnerships with Foundries. Their current mission is to supply worldwide customers with fault-free, high-yield and reliable sets of CMOS Virtual Components.
The strategy is to follow product launches with evolutions addressing future needs, emphasizing resilience to noise and drastic reductions of power-consumption at SoC level, thanks to their own missing EDA solutions enabling Application Hardware Modeling (AHM) as well as early Power and Noise assessment, plus engineering assistance for Risk Control.
