Simetrix

Simetrix: Electronic Design Automation Softwares

Simetrix is an electronic design automation (EDA) software used for integrated circuit design and simulation. It provides a complete design environment from schematic entry to physical layout.

What is Simetrix?

Simetrix is an integrated suite of electronic design automation (EDA) tools used for the design and simulation of integrated circuits and printed circuit boards. It was originally developed by Simucad Inc. and is now owned by Synopsys.

Some of the key features of Simetrix include:

• Schematic capture - for drawing circuit schematics and capturing the circuit connectivity
• Analog and digital circuit simulation - allows simulating and verifying circuit behavior prior to layout and fabrication
• HDL model support - supports using VHDL and Verilog models for complex ICs and FPGAs
• PCB layout tools - for physical layout and routing of printed circuit boards
• Design rule checking - verifies manufacturability and detects violations
• LVS and DRC - Layout vs. schematic checking and design rule checks to ensure consistency and manufacturability

Simetrix aims to provide an integrated platform covering the complete IC/PCB design flow from initial concept to final layout. Its ease of use and unified design environment makes it suitable for circuit designers with limited EDA tool experience.
