SMASH 6.3.0, SCROOGE 3.3.0 & SHAKER 6.3.0

New Features

Preamble
As always for new releases, we would like to thank those customers who take the time to report problems and/or
to suggest improvements (please remember that the best way to do so is by sending an email to medal@dolphinintegration.com or support@dolphin-integration.com with an accurate description of your problem or suggestion, together with the relevant files if any). As you will see in the new features, we do our best to take remarks
into account. And even if your suggestion does not appear this time, dont think it was lost or disregarded.
Simply, it means that its implementation could not fit into the development plan for this particular release, but
be assured that we will try to take it into account in a future release.

Web Site
Our web site http://www.dolphin-integration.com is a source of information on our EDA solutions. Aside from evaluation kits for our products, a number of application notes, courses or upgrades are
available for download.

Supported Platforms
Microsoft Windows
SMASH is designed to run under Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7/8, both 32 bit and 64 bit platforms.
Linux on Intel x86 platform
SMASH is designed to run under the Linux distributions on the i86 platform. SMASH is developed and
validated mainly on RedHat Linux. However, customers deploy on various Linux distributions without any
issues.

VDA / FAT Open Source Library

The open source library of VHDL-AMS components created by the VDA / FAT working group is delivered
with SMASH.
The VDA / FAT Working Group AK 30 "Simulation of Mixed Systems with VHDL-AMS" is organized within
the Association for Research in Automobile Technology (FAT - Forschungsvereinigung Automobiltechnik) of
the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA - Verband der Automobilindustrie). It promotes the
relationship between car manufactures and their suppliers concerning simulation of mixed systems and model
exchange.
The working group promotes the development of VHDL-AMS models that are integrated in different libraries.
FUNDAMENTALS_VDA
Public library with general VHDL-AMS models like time sources, converters between different domains, tablelookup models, relays, switches...
SPICE2VHD
VHDL-AMS models with nearly the same terminal behavior like Spice models of basic electrical elements like
resistor, capacitor, inductor, and level1 models of semiconductor devices.
AUTOMOTIVE_VDA
Library under development with special parameterized models like wires, fuses, bulbs, EMC test signals...
