Customer References
MunEDA circuit analysis and verification tools are successfully proven in numerous industrial circuit design projects with global semiconductor companies since many years.
“MunEDA EDA Tools have been seamlessly integrated in the designflow of Infineon for more than a decade. The WiCkeD tool suite and integration has shown to be very valuable for the designers because it allows them to use a completely GUI-based operation of automated circuit migration, analysis and optimization inside the design framework.”
“Circuit Verification: WiCkeD GUI of WCO makes it easy to verify the performance and robustness of the circuit. Parameter influence of MCA is helpful for identifying the device that contribute the most to the variance of performance. WiCkeD MCA compute DC operating point for each sample point. It is easy, fast and straightforward to check circuit failures by using sensitivity and further analysis of WiCkeD.”
