Tanner Tools
Tanner EDA is a suite of tools for the

design of integrated circuits. Tanner EDA is mainly used to analyze circuits at switch level gate level. These are tool used to enter schematics perform !"I#E simulations do physical design $i.e.% chip layout& perform design rule chec's $D(#& and layout versus schematic $)*!& chec's.

!-Edit is a powerful design capture

entry tool that can generate netlists directly usa,le in T-!pice simulations. "rovides an integrated environment for editing circuits% setting up and running simulations and pro,ing the results. It also provides the a,ility to perform !"I#E simulations of the circuit These circuits that can ,e driven forward into a physical layout.

T-SPICE
It

is a complete design capture and simulation solution that provides accuracy. The role of T-!pice is to help design and verify a circuit4s operation. T-!pice simulation results allow circuit designers to verify and fine-tune designs ,efore su,mitting them for fa,rication. "erforms fast% accurate simulations for analog and mixed-signal I# designs and fully supports foundry models for relia,le and accurate simulations.

T-SPICE vs SPICE
T-!pice uses an extended version

of the !"I#E% compati,le with all industrystandard !"I#E simulation programs.

Speed5 T-!pice provides highly optimized

code for evaluating device. It also provides the option of ta,le-,ase transistor model evaluation which yields dramatic increase simulation speed
