MICS strives for efficient and productive design and verification of high-performance mixed-signal VLSI systems. Today's integrated circuit (IC) design requires a highly-skilled art, finding the right balance between various competing objectives such as speed, power, noise, area, yield and cost. While most people perceive analog circuit design as dark magic, we believe that the key to successful design is to simplify the design problem by leveraging the proper abstraction reflected by design intent and enforcing their constraints by validation.

Our aim is to make analog design as systematic and productive as digital by introducing new kinds of tools, flows, and methodologies for analog/mixed-signal systems and to demonstrate their effectiveness via diverse IC applications, including high-speed I/Os, PLL/DLLs, power converters, energy-harvesters, and neuromorphic processors.

MICS Group has created XMODEL, a fast event-driven analog/mixed-signal simulator for analog/mixed-signal systems in SystemVerilog.

With XMODEL, you can verify behaviors of complex mixed-signal systems such as high-speed I/Os, RF transceivers, and DC-DC converters with 100~1000x speed over Verilog-AMS or SPICE.

XMODEL is now commercially available through Scientific Analog, Inc. For more detail, visit http://www.scianalog.com.
