About FMF

Founded in 1995, Free Model Foundry is dedicated to promoting standard modeling practices within the electrical engineering comunity. In particular, we support the use of VHDL, Verilog, and SystemVerilog modeling languages.

One service provided by FMF is to help IC and IP vendors increase the rate of adoption of their products by providing accurate, uniform, functional models to expedite evaluation and selection by designers of electronic systems. Our staff of experienced modeling engineers has developed models simulating over 11,000 parts and takes pride in the ease of use and accuracy of results its products offer.

Free Model Foundry (FMF) believes in free, open source distribution of simulation and analysis models of electronic components. It promotes the development, distribution and sharing of functional simulation models (with timing) for board level components and open source behavioral models for proprietary IP.

FMF provides:

• Web-based model distribution
• Model support (by subscription)
• Modeling services (with trained technical resources in the U.S. and Europe)
• Backannotation tools
• Educational services
