Seamless integration with your preferred EDA Workflow
EDA Linker allows you to incorporate IntelliSuite directly into your EDA workflow. Whether you are using a Cadence, Mentor, Synopsys or Tanner environment, or a mixed tool environment IntelliSuite will fit right in.
EDA Linker allows you to co-simulate your micro-devices along with the electronics in your favorite mixed signal or system level environment.
Hierarchical MEMS design
EDA Linker allows you to easily create component models (in VHDL, Simulink, SPICE etc) of any complex mechanical or electromechanical structure. These are not simplistic 6-DOF reduced models but a full 3D (N-DOF) representation of the structure. This allows you to create your own set of library components such as comb drives, spring structures etc that you can reuse at any point.
System model extraction at work
EDA Linker uses the same sophisticated underlying technology as our popular System Model Extraction module. Users can easily convert complex electro-mechanical devices such as gyroscopes, resonators, switches etc into an equivalent hardware description language with the click of a button.
Features
With EDA Linker you can:
• Co-simulate electronics and MEMS
• Link IntelliSuite with popular EDA tools from Cadence, Mentor, Mathworks, Synopsys or Tanner
• Create accurate N-DOF mixed-signal models of 3D MEMS devices in PSPICE, HSPICE, VHDL, Simulink (MEX)
• Accurately capture non-linear dynamics of MEMS devices including all relevant high order modes
Full range of analyses
With EDA Linker derived models you to perform a comprehensive selection of analyses on your MEMS devices — from DC, AC, transient, steady-state, analyses.
Advantages
• Fits into existing mixed-signal environments
• Compatible with existing investment in EDA tools
