Reliable MicroSystems has developed an automated radiation-aware analysis tool suite, called VIRAD (Vertically-Integrated Radiation-Aware Design), that spans the domains of complec IC design, from the physical to the functional. VIRAD seamlessy integrates predictive radiation response physics and RHBD analysis into an industry-standard EDA flow, exposing RHBD IC design to the power of commercial EDA modeling, optimization, fault prediction, and functional validation. ​
A Familiar Design Flow
VIRAD complements industry-standard microelectronic design flows, such as Cadence XXXX and soon Synopsys XXXXX. Engineers work within their familiar design space, invoking the power of VIRAD seamlessly at each stage of a design maturation.
Empowered Mission-Critical Design
VIRAD merges the most advanced radiation-response models and statistical simulation techniques with visualization and intuitive analyses to empower a microelectronics designer with operational information and fault identification early in the design cycle. A single, intuitive user interface presents all of the radiation environments of interest to aerospace, military, and automotive ecosystems, where functional safety and mission success are critical.
Not a Device Physicist? No Problem.
VIRAD captures all of the relevant physics and mathematics of radiation response, ready for application to your design topology. A deep knowledge of radiation physics or radiation mechanisms is not required to effectively apply VIRAD to radiation-hardened design. VIRAD empowers a non-specialist to perform radiation hardened by design (RHBD) and produce a fault-free circuit. Yet it’s advanced features allows RHBD specialists to dive deep into advanced scenarios and fault analyses.
What's the Payoff?
No longer must a company employ a large staff of rad-hard expert designers in house. VIRAD multiplies the force of a small staff to tackle complex RHBD designs. Risk is reduced. First-pass success is enhanced. Cost savings are captured.
