AWR Licenses Synopsys HSPICE to Reduce RFIC Design Time; AWR RF Design Environment Deploys HSPICE as a Golden Simulator to Enhance Designer Productivity.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers EL SEGUNDO El Segundo (ĕl sēgŭn`dō), industrial city (1990 pop. 15,223), Los Angeles co., S Calif., on Santa Monica Bay; inc. 1917. Its products include navigation and computer systems, aircraft parts, office machines, telephone apparatus, and , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 18, 2002 Applied Wave Research Inc. (AWR AWR Automatic Workload Repository (Oracle database) AWR Applied Wave Research (El Segundo, CA) AWR Adventist World Radio AWR Advanced Warranty Replacement AWR American Warmblood Registry (TM)) today announced a technology licensing agreement with Synopsys that enables AWR to integrate Synopsys' HSPICE(R) analog and mixed-signal circuit simulation solution into AWR's high-frequency design environment. This agreement will provide radio frequency integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for (RFIC RFIC Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit RFIC Radio Frequency Interface Chip ) designers with the ability to improve simulation performance and reduce development time in designing large-scale RFICs used in wireless and wireline appliances. "HSPICE is the golden standard for accurate circuit simulation of analog and mixed-signal IC designs," said Bijan Kiani, vice president of marketing for the Nanometer One billionth of a meter. Nanometers are used to measure the wavelengths of light. See angstrom and metric system. Analysis and Test group at Synopsys. "The combination of HSPICE and AWR's powerful, unified RF flow enables designers to take direct advantage of HSPICE's silicon-accurate device models and simulation technology." "By integrating HSPICE into AWR's core technology, we can provide our customers with an unparalleled RFIC solution that significantly reduces their time-to-market," said James Spoto, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of AWR. "This tightly integrated solution delivers an RFIC design and verification environment that greatly increases designer productivity." About the Synopsys/AWR Technology Agreement The agreement between AWR and Synopsys enables AWR to deliver a more advanced RFIC solution that combines AWR's design environment with Synopsys' HSPICE analog simulation technology. AWR provides a front-to-back, high-frequency design solution for full-custom, analog and RFIC design. HSPICE has unmatched accuracy and analysis capabilities and supports a wide range of device models. AWR's software includes next-generation simulation, layout and electromagnetic (EM) analysis tools for wireless and high-frequency design. AWR expects to deliver a solution based upon the Synopsys HSPICE technology in the first half of 2003. About Applied Wave Research, Inc.
