HiPer Silicon

HiPer Silicon is Tanner EDA’s complete software suite for the design, layout and verification of analog, mixed-signal, RF and MEMS ICs. HiPer Silicon consists of fully-integrated front end and back end tools, from schematic capture, circuit simulation, and waveform probing to physical layout and foundry-compatible physical verification. HiPer Silicon includes advanced features that improve designer productivity and capability; including foundry-compatible physical verification, Verilog-A simulation, interactive auto-routing, and device layout automation.  Optional features include 2D and 3D parasitic extraction and a high performance device generation tool; offering even greater productivity.

HiPer Silicon AMS

HiPer Silicon AMS extends our design, layout and verification toolset to include advanced tools for design entry, simulation, debugging, verification, static timing and timing for digital circuits.  This provides a cohesive and comprehensive solution for designers of “big A / little D” designs.  HiPer Silicon AMS leverages all the advanced features that offer industry-leading productivity, capability and price-performance.

Front End Tools:

HiPer Simulation

HiPer Simulation, Tanner EDA’s design entry and simulation system includes S-Edit for schematic capture, T-Spice for circuit simulation and W-Edit for waveform probing. T-Spice Pro is HSPICE and Pspice compatible and supports the latest industry models; including Verilog-A for behavioral modeling.

HiPer Simulation AFS

HiPer Simulation AFS adds analog FastSPICE capability from BDA (Berkeley Design Automation) to Tanner’s HiPer Simulation tool suite.  It includes schematic capture (S-Edit), circuit simulation (T-Spice with Verilog-A), FastSPICE (AFS), and waveform probing (W-Edit).

Tanner Analog FastSPICE (T-AFS) licenses may be purchased as tokens; allowing the user several options on how to best allocate the tool to their workload.  Transient noise analysis can also be conducted by purchasing a TNA token.

T-Spice Pro

T-Spice Pro from Tanner EDA offers front-end designers industry-leading productivity and price-performance by combining our Schematic Capture tool (S-Edit) with our Waveform Editor (W-Edit) and circuit simulator (T-Spice).   Additional simulation capacity can be added; by purchasing stand-alone T-Spice licenses and/or by adding T-AFS; Tanner Analog FastSPICE.  (See below for information on these add-ins).

T-Spice Power Packs

For users looking to augment their simulation capabilities and increase productivity through simultaneous simulation runs, Tanner EDA offers add-on packs of our T-Spice engine.  Available in units of 1,3,5 and 10 additional licenses, this power pack significantly bolsters productivity and reduces analysis time.

Back End Tools:

L-Edit

L-Edit combines industry-leading rendering speed with powerful features and an elegant user interface that delivers unmatched productivity in physical layout. Drawing and editing are done quickly; with fewer keystrokes and mouse clicks than other layout tools. Powerful features such as interactive DRC, object snapping, and alignment work within an intuitive user interface so you can work efficiently and effectively.

L-Edit IC

Based on L-Edit, the fastest rendering layout editor in the market, L-Edit IC is a comprehensive physical layout and verification system that accelerates design cycles with high performance and an extremely short learning curve. L-Edit IC includes Interactive Design Rule Checking (DRC), Standard Place & Route (SPR), Node Highlighting, Pad Map, Schematic-Driven layout, and our Standard Device Generator.

HiPer L-Edit DevGen

HiPer L-Edit DevGen is for Engineers looking to gain high productivity by accelerating the task of creating design primitives such as differential pairs, current mirrors, and MOSFETs.  This package couples our high-performance L-Edit IC package with HiPer DevGen.  Click here to learn more about this high-performance layout acceleration capability.

HiPer L-Edit Router

HiPer L-Edit Router combines our high-performance L-Edit IC package with our SDL Router; offering unparalleled workflow productivity for engineers doing layout routing.

Physical Verification

HiPer Verify

HiPer Verify from Tanner EDA is a comprehensive yet affordable solution for analog/mixed signal IC design rule checking (DRC) and netlist extraction on the Windows and Linux platforms. HiPer Verify uses advanced hierarchical algorithmic techniques to provide optimal performance for your designs.  HiPer Verify can run Calibre and Dracula rule files directly from the foundry; offering the security of knowing you are running your rule files without modification or conversion, as well as the convenience of not having to perform translations.

External Verification Interface (EVI) for Calibre Integration

External Verification Interface (EVI) provides an interface for users of Mentor Graphics’ Calibre® tool suite to use L-Edit and S-Edit for layout and schematic capture. Used in conjunction with the Calibre RVE product, you can view Calibre DRC errors, LVS results, and PEX parasitics in L-Edit and S-Edit.

EVI is also compatible with Calibre Interactive, which allows users to run DRC & LVS on L-Edit and S-Edit designs from within Calibre Interactive.

Parasitic Extraction

HiPer PX, Tanner EDA’s parasitic extraction system, ensures successful RF IC tapeouts by providing accurate, simulation-ready RC models of interconnect parasitics and crosstalk.
