It is HSPICERF. I think the HSPICERF havenot been officially released yet.
The following is from http://www.synopsys.com/products/avmrg/cosmosse_ds.html
CosmosSE Supports the Following Simulators:
HSPICE
Star-SimXT
Saber
HSPICERF on simulator support list (Q2 2003)
HSPICERF™(Q4 2002)

We evaluated this last year. a piece of junk! I would never install in in my computer even if it were free. Far behind from Cadence IC443 or Mentor Design Architecture.

Firs, and the most important thing is no legacy: you can't resuse old schematics created by other tools. Not very friendly to use, can't interface with other simulation except Avant!. lack a lot of bell and whistle ect...
Maybe we are just to familiar with other tools. It's not worth to change. It's says that if it isn't broken, don't fix it!

| 08 Mar 2003 20:12 HSpiceRF or ADS? |
|
|
|
| I use ADS for RF design for years, I don't think HSpiceRF is realy need for us. since HSpice interface is realy poor.
