ADiT

ADiT is the tool of choice to address the challenges associated with simulating today’s complex analog and mixed signal circuit designs.

ADiT is a fast-SPICE simulation tool that delivers the ability to obtain accurate and reliable simulation results 10X – 100X faster than traditional SPICE tools. ADiT is integrated into the Questa ADMS mixed-signal simulation solution and supports both Eldo and HSPICE netlist formats.
