Martin Mallinson is an experienced analog circuit designer with multiple patents. Over his 40-year career, his audio designs have been used in millions of smartphones.  Martin spoke with Graham Bell about why SmartSpice is different from other analog simulators and how he relies on its interactivity, speed, and precision for his analog design work.

As technology advances and the complexity of circuit designs continues to grow, analog simulation can easily become the bottleneck for design verification. In order to cope with this increasing pressure on the simulator’s performance, SmartSpice provides a scalable simulation engine: HPP (High Performance Parallel). 

In this webinar, we describe how SmartSpice HPP takes advantage of the modern multicore hardware platforms to speed up all internal aspects of transient simulations of analog circuits by adopting a partition-based simulation.
