Giving ViaDesigner a Try
Now, the stuff is available as a free download on Cnet. What gives?
The claim is, if you use their Via-Configurable-Array (VCA), you get your IC Design done faster, safer, simpler and less expensively.
It's an 800 MB download by the way..
Who did they partner with to integrate SPICE you wonder? BTW, heard that Chris Collins managed to grind TIspice to the ground. How did he do so well I asked. Answer : He's very good at managing up. They got a great deal from Cadence apparently - unlimited licenses or something - and the integration with AMS is better, so win-win.
Verdict on installation : Yuck, yuck, yuck! They don't warn you the MG's SystemVision will be installed. And when MG asks you for a license key, what the * are you supposed to do?
Then, you try to run : Super-yuck!
Unable to instantiate DPROJMANLib.ProjectManager COM object. Ensure dprojman.dll is registered.
