Alps Alpine adopts Silvaco’s Jivaro Pro

Silvaco (SVCO) Group announced that Alps Alpine has adopted Jivaro Pro, a solution for the development and verification of integrated circuits, including sensor conditioning ICs that support sensor products. Jivaro Pro is a unique stand-alone tool that dramatically speeds up SPICE simulations, accelerating productivity, enabling increased verification coverage and reducing design schedule risk. Adopted by leading semiconductor companies worldwide for technologies from 180nm down to 3nm, Jivaro Pro accelerates SPICE simulation speeds by up to 15x by significantly reducing post-extraction netlists while maintaining high accuracy. Compared to embedded generic reduction in extractors or simulators, Jivaro Pro is unique in the degree and flexibility of parasitic reduction strategies it offers to designers. These benefits minimize the cost of simulation while ensuring timely project completion. With the addition of Jivaro Pro to its development flow, Alps Alpine Co., Ltd. aims to accelerate the development of high-precision sensor products, bringing them to market faster.
