"HSIM" might be the best!

Right now in the market we have: Hsim, StarSimXt, Nanosim, Mach Ta. Hsim is the best and its market share keep increasing every year.

How about Smash ??

smash support L49 spice model + verilog ...

HSIM have grow fast in this few years. But starsim and nanosim have a long history. I feel one of the best function in the HSIM is it can directly compatible with spice simulation.

 

[elektrom]

Absolutely agree!.

Who has real experience with HSIM?. How big is your circuit? How many component? How long does it take?

 

[seasonyangd]

Anyone can introduce something about Hsim???

 

[ramesh]

What is the latest version of HSIM?

 

[ejean]

HSIM is the 'whole chip spice netlist simulator'. It speedup traditional spice 1,000~10,000 times(as the company announce), it's a 'fast spice simulator', in addition, it can read test vector(use it's tools covert from *.vcd ) to verify and simplify the test result in the digital parts. With the simulation output results, we can get a delicate current and power estimation. It's important for many IC products.

starsim is from avanti,and nanosim is from synopsys,can anybody tell me where HSIM come from?

[kwkam]

HSIM come from Nassda

I have used star_simxt and hsim.In my experience,the best hand of hsim is its speed.
