Qorvo® QSPICETM revolutionizes circuit simulation for power and analog designers

Qorvo®, the world's leading provider of connectivity and power solutions, announced the launch of a new generation of circuit simulation software, QSPICETM, which brings a higher level of design productivity to power and analog designers by improving simulation speed, functionality and reliability.

In addition to promoting the development of analog simulation technology, QSPICE also assists designers in simulating complex digital circuits and algorithms. Its unique combination of modern schematic capture technology and fast mixed-mode simulation makes it the ideal tool for solving the increasingly complex hardware and software challenges faced by today's system designers.

“QSPICE enables a new generation of mixed-mode circuit simulation,” said Jeff Strang, general manager of Qorvo’s power management business. “In the past, power designers relied on analog circuits and silicon power switches. Today, digital control and compound semiconductors have become the basis for advanced power designs. "

Qorvo’s QSPICE is available free of charge. It offers many improvements over traditional simulation modeling tools, including:

Complete support for advanced analog and digital system simulation, such as those used in AI and machine learning applications.

The upgraded simulation engine uses advanced numerical methods and is optimized for modern computing hardware, including a GPU-rendered user interface and SSD-aware storage management, resulting in significant improvements in speed and accuracy.

Based on Qorvo benchmarks and a challenging set of test circuits, overall run time is reduced and 100% completion rate is achieved. In comparison, when the same test circuit was run using other popular SPICE simulators, the failure rate was as high as 15%.

A regularly updated library of QSPICE models is available, including Qorvo's silicon carbide and advanced power management solutions, making it easy for customers to evaluate and design with Qorvo power supplies.

QSPICE is now available on the website and is actively supported by Qorvo and a strong user community on the Qorvo QSPICE Forum.
