SPECTRE 21.1 Release Now Available

30 Aug 2021 • 1 minute read

The SPECTRE 21.1 release is now available for download at Cadence Downloads. For information on supported platforms and other release compatibility information, see the README.txt file in the installation hierarchy.

SPECTRE 21.1

Here is a listing of some of the important updates made in the SPECTRE 21.1 release.

  • Operating System Updates

The SPECTRE 21.1 release has been developed on RHEL 7.4. Therefore, if you are using an operating system older than RHEL 7.4, you need to upgrade to RHEL 7.4 or a later version to be able to use the Spectre products.

  • New Spectre FX Simulator Introduced

In this release, a new next-generation transistor-level FastSPICE circuit simulator, Spectre® FX Simulator has been introduced. Spectre FX is designed for pre- and post-layout verification of large-scale DRAM, flash, SRAM, and transistor-level SoC designs. It delivers up to 3X transient simulation performance with equivalent or superior accuracy over the latest FastSPICE simulators.

For more details on these and all the other new and enhanced features, see Spectre Circuit Simulator What's New.
