HSPICE is an analog circuit simulator (similar to Berkeley’s SPICE-3) capable of performing transient, steady state, and frequency domain analyses. HSPICE generally has better convergence than SPICE-3 and, because it is a commercial product (from Meta-Software), is better supported.

What is Synopsys Hspice?

DATASHEET. synopsys.com. Overview. HSPICE® is the industry’s “gold standard” for accurate circuit simulation and offers foundry-certified MOS device models with state-of-the-art simulation and analysis algorithms.

What is the difference between Hspice and PSpice?

difference between pspice and hspice PSpice comes with a schematic capture program and does some things automatically. It is good for casual and new users. HSpice has a wider range of user selectable options but therefore requires more user skill.

How do you measure power dissipated in hspice?

measure tran pwr_avg_HL AVG power from=50e-12 to=300e-12 . measure tran tpHL +trig v(in) val=’1.1/2′ RISE=1 +targ v(out) val=’1.1/2′ FALL=1 *The first measurement measures the average power consumption of whole *circuit. The second measurement measures propagation delay from the node “in” *to the node “out”.

What is a hspice model?

Hspice is a device level circuit simulator. Hspice takes a spice file as input and produces output describing the requested simulation of the circuit. It can also produce output files to be used by the AWAVES post processor.

Is Hspice open source?

SPICE is open-source software that simulates the operating conditions of analog circuits. It is short for ‘Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis’.

What is PSpice and HSpice?

difference between pspice and hspice They are made by different companies. PSpice comes with a schematic capture program and does some things automatically. It is good for casual and new users. HSpice has a wider range of user selectable options but therefore requires more user skill.

How do you calculate energy in hspice?

hspice average current meas Set the ideal voltage source value=0 and you can get the whole current of the circuit. Then, you use the function power=vdd*I(total).

What is the user guide for HSPICE?

HSPICE User Guide: Signal Integrity Describes how to use HSPICE to maintain signal integrity in your chip design. HSPICE User Guide: RF Analysis Describes how to use special set of analysis and design capabilities added to HSPICE to support RF and high-speed circuit design.

What is the pulse source function of Star-HSPICE?

Pulse Source Function Star-Hspice has a trapezoidal pulse source function, which starts with an initial delay from the beginning of the transient simulation interval to an onset ramp. During the onset ramp, the voltage or current changes linearly from its initial value to the pulse plateau value.

What is the length period of a LFSR signal?

LFSR is not truly ramdom signal, Pseudo random. it have about 1.0m period. what do I do to get enough long period? For example this is a prbs7 with seed of all 1’s. Not open for further replies.
