Design Challenges
Today's design engineers are faced with the daunting task of creating designs faster, cheaper and with increased complexity, resulting in large amounts of complex digital and analog components designed into the same chip. The ability to verify the design at the circuit, gate and full-chip levels requires a unique toolset able to handle the specific challenges at each stage of verification.

Solution
Synopsys offers a comprehensive verification solution for complex mixed-signal designs including NanoSim, the industry's fastest and highest capacity fast-spice circuit simulator. Designers require a simulator which can handle the largest SoC designs and perform quick and accurate verification at the block and full-chip levels.
