ROAD Suite ROAD provides statistical analysis and optimization of digital, analog/RF, memory, and mixed-signal circuits. It consists of three major components.
ROAD Analysis performs parametric yield analysis on a design by considering both process and environmental variations. Proprietary technology enables modeling of non-normal performance distributions in a fast and accurate manner. ROAD Analysis provides sensitivity information for design and process optimization.
ROAD Optimization can simultaneously improve circuit performance and parametric yield. It can be used on both pre- and post-layout designs. ROAD Optimization takes advantage of its unique modeling and analysis capabilities with an emphasis on device mismatches.
Results Visualization provides insights into the circuit's operation with intuitive 2D and 3D plots. These plots include yield and process sensitivities, model plots, performance distributions, and scatter plots.
ROAD supports distributed processing across multiple machines using LSF.
