Shorten your ASIC analog design from days to minutes
Spaceman let’s you find the optimal solution for your corner conditions using neural networks and integrates directly to your ASIC design software
Spaceman
Spaceman brings practical automation to analog design. Choose the topology, set targets and constraints, run the optimization. Results are computed per PDK, validated at the simulator and exported automatically to Virtuoso as an editable cell with test benches.
Find the optimal circuit in 10 minutes without trial and error
Spaceman calculates the ensemble of possibilities for your ASIC design and chooses the most optimal solution for your circuit
A faster, repeatable workflow
Everything you do, done quickly
With Spaceman, your work is reduced to the important decisions, not the minuscule tasks
Corner testing
Optimize your FOM across the corner setup you need, with explicit constraints and priorities.
Circuit verification
Every output is verified by an electrical simulator to double check that there are no errors in the schematic.
Integrated output
Spaceman gives you the optimal circuit schematic and testing output, all ready to drop into your project
PDK adjustment
Spaceman let’s you swap PDKs and recalculate from the start.
Reach Optimal PPA Faster
Spaceman explores thousands of configurations to find the best power, performance, and area balance.
Consistent and reproducible results
Spaceman finds the right trade-off between power, performance, and area. All automatically.
Full of IPs ready to use
Spaceman gives you a ready-to-use library of IPs that are used in the optimized schematic.

Meets Your Specs
Spaceman optimizes to your exact requirements, without under-engineering nor over-engineering.
Faster iterations
What takes weeks manually, Spaceman completes in hours. Same quality in a fraction of the time.
Perfect PPA Balance
Spaceman finds the right trade-off between power, performance, and area. All automatically.
Helps Reduce Designer Bias
Spaceman explores the full design space objectively, so you see options you might have missed.
30 degrees of liberty
Spaceman handles up to 30 variable parameters, exploring millions of configurations to find the best PPA balance.
Use cases
Design optimal circuits from scratch
Spaceman explores the full design space and delivers multiple optimal solutions. Each one represents a different balance of performance trade-offs, so you pick the one that fits your priorities.
Port your existing IPs to a new PDK
Porting your IPs to a new PDK takes minutes instead of days. Select the new PDK and rerun.
Iterate fast across design constraints
Verify your circuit under different conditions and corners in minutes, not days. Adjust specifications, change operating parameters, or modify constraints and generate new optimal designs immediately.
Run it locally with Cadence
No third-party servers. Spaceman runs on the same machine as your ASIC design software. It integrates directly into your Virtuoso workflow, so your files never leave your environment.
