Virtuoso Spectre

  • Modeling Oscillators with Arbitrary Phase Noise Profiles
    When you need to include noisy oscillators in SpectreRF transceiver simulations, you have at least 3 options: 1) Semi-autonomous simulation is the most accurate approach, recommended whenever the transistor-level model of the oscillator is available. 2) rfLib/osc model is less accurate but it’s...

  • New Time-Saving Feature in IC6.1.4 ISR2: Plot S-Parameter Data Directly From ViVA!
    If you haven't heard about it....there is a new feature in IC6.1.4 ISR2 which makes troubleshooting circuits containing nports ( s-parameters ) much easier and faster! Starting i n IC6.1.4 ISR2, you can now plot s-parameters directly in ViVA (without having to create a test bench and run a Spectre...

  • Using The Composite Triple Beat Source to Speed up QPSS Analysis
    Say you have a design with 4 input frequencies: 3164M (vco), 1449M (tone0), 1456M (tone1), 1442M (tone2). Currently when you do a qpss analysis, you are inserting a total of 4 separate ports in your schematic and running a simulation. There is a divide by 2 in your circuit, so one of the frequencies...

  • NPORT S-Parameter Model Enhancements
    In MMSIM 7.2, two new parameters have been added to the Spectre nport primitive: datatrunc and causality . In MMSIM 7.1, passivity checking was added. The nport now has causality correction, passivity checking and enforcement, and the ability to remove small couplings terms from the input s-parameter...

  • Setting VIVA Waveform Color Defaults When Using ADE
    I found myself getting a little bit frustrated with some of the default colors that would come up in the VIVA waveform tool while I was plotting from the Analog Design Environment (ADE). After working with Kabir, the Product Engineer for VIVA, I discovered that the colors for the waveform defaults are...

  • SpectreRF Turbo: Parasitic Reduction
    I wanted to share some experiences I had with SpectreRF-Turbo and Parasitic reduction on a recent large benchmark. The things I learned may be helpful to anyone who wants to get the most out of turbo and parasitic reduction. Available in MMSIM7.0.1 and later for RF, turbo accelerates simulation in three...

  • SpectreRF GUI Support for MMSIM 7.1
    MMSIM 7.1 has just been released! The following IC release GUIs support the new MMSIM7.1 features: IC5.1.41.500.5.129 (However, USR6 or later is strongly recommended) IC6.1.1 ISR65 IC6.1.3 ISR5 And later subversions. For more information, similar tips, and design topics, please visit sourcelink.cadence...

  • MMSIM 7.1 Enhancements Benefit RF Designers!
    The 7.1 release of MMSIM is scheduled for mid-January. There are many exciting RF enhancements that will be useful for RF designers. 1. Three new RF analyses using the harmonic balance engine, have been introduced to make the Spectre RF easier to use: HB, HBAC, and HBnoise. HB analysis (hb) provides...
