ClarityRLC and its Competitors

ClarityRLC is an efficient and accurate tool for reduction of parasitic RLC elements in extracted netlists. ClarityRLC can be used in place of Jivaro, and substitute/excel built-in netlist reduction capabilities (of StarRC, QRC, Calibre-XRC, QuartzRC) providing the following key features:

• Rapid handling the netlists of arbitrary size and complexity
  
• High-rate, intelligent reduction, based on proprietary enhancements and synthesis of Time Domain method and Scattering-Parameter-Based Macromodeling
  
• Support of SPICE, DSPF, or SPEF formats
  
• Significant gains in runtime of post-layout and post-route simulations
  
• Filtering of dangling elements and elements with values out of user specified range
  
• Careful preserving of original netlist entities that are not affected by reduction
  
• Analysis of the variety of interconnect models (other than RC-trees), handling of coupling capacitors and resistor loops without loss of generality
  
• Integration with Hipex (full-chip parasitic extractor)
