CIRCUIT PORTING SUITE

Effortless and error free circuit porting

Automated schematic migration and testbench adaptation

Complex analog, mixed-signal and RF IP circuits demand a reliable design migration solution.

Circuit porting follows the technology analysis stage, where source design cells are mapped to their most appropriate counterparts in the target PDK.  The AMALIA Platform Circuit Porting Suite streamlines the next critical step—translating schematics and testbenches to the target technology.

This solution automates device replacement using mapping directives generated during analysis. It updates SPICE models and reconfigures testbenches accordingly, ensuring design intent is preserved.

At the heart of the Suite is a machine learning engine that guides automation with high accuracy and adaptability. It can be quickly trained for new PDKs, enabling seamless integration into evolving design flows.

As device performance parameters such as gain, bandwidth, and noise are often retargeted during migration, AMALIA automates simulation and comparison across the source and target. It validates the migrated design and supports performance optimization, ensuring database integrity throughout.

As device performance parameters such as gain, bandwidth, and noise are difficult to match exactly between two technologies, the target design requires careful adjustment and tuning.  AMALIA guides the user where to focus attention and automates simulation and comparison across the source.  It validates the migrated design and supports performance optimization, ensuring database integrity throughout.

Available in three editions:

  • Core: Essential capabilities for schematic and testbench migration to the target PDK
  • Professional: Adds fully automated, parallelized PVT corner simulations
  • Advanced: Incorporates estimated parasitics and automates early performance prediction via intelligent simulation
