EDA Linker allows you to co-simulate your micro-devices along with the electronics in your favorite mixed signal or system level environment.
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.
Seamless Integration With Your Preferred EDA Workflow
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.
With EDA Linker derived models you to perform a comprehensive sealection of analyses on your MEMS devices - from DC, AC, transient, steady-state, analyses.
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, sawitches etc into an equivalent hardware description language with the click of a button.
RF Savvy
EDA Linker now allows you convert output from the Electromagnetic into Touchstone, SPICE or Pole-Zero Residual format.
