Course Description
In this course, you use the Cadence® Spectre® eXtensive Partitioning Simulator for Mixed-Signal Mode (XPS MS) to deliver a high-performance transistor-level multi-rate simulation solution by combining a highly accurate SPICE engine with a fast digital simulation technology. You explore the simulation technology and features of XPS for mixed-signal designs. You also get a brief overview of the XPS MS simulation flow for AMS Designer.
You then learn how to perform post-layout simulation with XPS MS after enabling the post-layout optimization to perform parasitic reduction. You identify inclusion of parasitic files for post-layout simulation.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
