Course Description
For classroom delivery, this course is taught as a half-day session (4 hours).
This course is part of the Spectre® Simulator Fundamentals series. You use the Spectre Circuit Simulator and its corresponding options to analyze results from AC, transfer function (XF), Noise, Stability (STB), Loopfinder(LF), Pole-Zero (PZ), S-Parameter (SP), DCmatch, ACmatch, Fourier, Sensitivity and Sweep analyses. You use both the command-line and ADE Explorer environments to set up and run simulations on circuit examples. All of the simulation results are analyzed and plotted using the Virtuoso® Visualization and Analysis XL tool.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Set up and run a family of small-signal and its associated analyses
- Identify hidden loops causing potential stability problems using Loopfinder analysis
- Measure the Fourier coefficients by performing Fourier Analysis
- Determine the sensitivity of output variables to input design parameters by performing Sensitivity analysis
- Perform mismatch analysis using dcmatch, acmatch analyses
- Process multiple analyses for each value of the parameter using sweep analysis
