Silencer! is a new, fully automated, substrate noise coupling analysis tool that is integrated into the CADENCE DFII design environment. This tool seamlessly enables substrate noise coupling analysis in a standard mixed-signal design flow. IC designers can analyze substrate noise coupling at different levels of hierarchy - from the schematic level to the layout. Examples have been simulated and the results are accurate to within 10% of measured fabricated chips.
