Acreo Advanced Design Laboratory

Acreo maintains state-of-the-art CAD tools and a high performance computing environment for the creation of new components, circuits, ASICs, modules and systems. Virtual prototyping is performed using advanced CAD software for simulating multi-physical domain performance analysis from the nanometer scale for predicting semiconductor device performance to the kilometer scale for long-range communication systems. Tools are available for the advanced design and simulation of electrical, electromagnetic, thermal, mechanical and optical systems. 

A sampling of our design tools include:

• Synopsis TCAD
• Europractice IC and System Design Software from Cadence, Mentor and Synopsis
• Agilent ADS, Momentum, Ptolemy, Golden Gate
• Comsol Multiphysics
• AWR VSS
• PTC Mathcad
• Mathworks Matlab
• National Instruments LABVIEW
