Dolphin Smash is a mixed-signal, multi-language simulator for IC or PCB designs. It uses SPICE syntax for analog descriptions, Verilog-HDL and VHDL for digital, Verilog-A/AMS, VHDL-AMS and ABCD (a combination of SPICE and C) for analog behavioral, and C for DSP algorithms.

Changes:
The release implements enhanced ease of setup with a simulator control file for analog and logic designers, a streamlined graphic user interface with reworked menu bar and enriched tool bars, integrated Power-Up analysis for transient ramp-up of circuit power supplies, accelerated automatic operating-point searching, bias point saving during transient analysis, noise analysis for Verilog-A models, encryption of SPICE libraries, and optimized on-the-fly SDF annotation to reduce memory consumption during circuit elaboration.
