The MEMS+ 3.0 design platform is the latest version of the company’s MEMS+IC co-design platform that is aimed at accelerating development of complex 3D systems with state-of-the-art actuators, accelerometers and gyroscopes, microphones and other types of MEMS devices. This platform delivers key advancements for simulating the dynamics of MEMS actuators and sensors, adds new components for modeling a wider range of MEMS designs, and provides speed and capacity improvement across the entire tool suite.
These capabilities enable MEMS designers to explore device concepts and optimize designs much faster than using conventional field solvers, with most simulations running in seconds or minutes rather than hours or days. The MEMS+ platform also eliminates months of engineering effort required to handcraft the models for IC simulation with a common model for MEMS and ASIC co-design that bridges the gap between the accuracy required by MEMS designers and the simulation speed required by ASIC designers.
The MEMS+ 3.0 platform leverages more than a decade of industry success with Coventor’s Architect3D and CoventorWare products for 3D design entry and simulation. Its tight integration with MATLAB and Simulink from The MathWorks and the Virtuoso custom IC design solution from Cadence Design Systems provides a robust environment for simulating with confidence the complex physics from MEMS devices together with IC circuits and control systems.(Early release versions of the MEMS+ 3.0 software are available now. General release, early 2013.)
