The department of EEE organized two workshops in ULAB Permanent Campus on 3 March, 2020 and 5 March, 2020 respectively where partcipants gained hands-on experience on PSpice, a circuit simulator application for simulation and verification of analog and mixed-signal circuits. The first workshop, focusing on Electrical Circuits, was conducted by Dr. Tama Fouzder, Assistant Professor, EEE ; and the second workshop, focusing on Electronic Circuits, was conducted by Dr. Mirza Rasheduzzaman, Assistant Professor, EEE.
Xpedition Analog Mixed-Signal circuit simulation(AMS) expands standard SPICE-based circuit analysis to leverage industry advances in PCB modeling and simulation, accelerate circuit development, and speed verification.
Extend standard time and frequency domain analysis to explore design sensitivities, sweep circuit parameters, determine manufacturing yields including corner-case behavior, and analyze worst-case performance. Verify design performance using a virtual prototype of the target system.
Texas Instruments announced a custom version of the PSpice simulator from Cadence Design Systems that enables engineers to simulate complex analog circuits with unlimited analysis of TI power and signal-chain products. PSpice for TI offers full-featured circuit simulation with a growing library of more than 5,700 TI analog integrated circuit (IC) models, making it easier than ever for engineers to evaluate components for new designs.
After completing validation of a simulated design in PSpice for TI, users can open the design in commercial versions of PSpice Designer, and then transfer the design to other Cadence printed circuit board (PCB) tools such as OrCAD/Allegro PCB Designer without having to recreate their schematic. Within the tool, users also have quick access to TI data sheets, product information, reference design test circuits and relevant search queries from TI E2E technical support forums. PSpice for TI is now available for download at no cost.
The optimizer analyzes analog circuits and systems, fine-tuning designs faster than trial-and-error bench testing. It helps find the best component...values to meet performance goals and constraints. Designers can use the optimizer to improve design performance, update designs to meet new specifications, optimize behavioral models for top-down design and model generation, and tune a circuit to match known results in the form of measurements or curves. The optimizer includes four engines: least squares quadratic (LSQ), modified LSQ, random, and discrete.
Monte Carlo predicts the behavior of a circuit statistically when part values are varied within their tolerance range.
Monte Carlo also calculates yield, which can be used for mass manufacturing predictions. Use Monte Carlo for calculating yield based on your specifications calculating statistical data, displaying results in a probability density histogram, and displaying results in a cumulative distribution graph. Define values and objects with perfect syntax.
Once a circuit is created and simulated, the parametric plotter is used for sweeping multiple parameters.
Any number of design and model parameters (in any combination) can be swept and results viewed in tabular or plot form. Designers can use the parametric plotter for allowing device/model parameters to be swept, displaying sweep results in spreadsheet format, allotting measurement results in probe UI, and evaluating post-analysis measurement.
The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS) is a Cadence University Program Member and participates in the Cadence University Software Program. Cadence PSpice circuit software is heavily used in both the undergraduate and graduate curriculum. In addition, Cadence Virtuoso Custom Integrated Circuit (IC) design software is used in some select senior and graduate level classes in VLSI and Mixed-Signal IC design.
In general, circuit simulators provide students with the capability to simulate the response of an electrical or electronic circuit to defined inputs. Hence they are valuable tools as they allow students to visualize a circuit's behavior without having to construct it. Cadence PSpice is used at CSUS for schematic capture, circuit simulation, and post-processing of results, with all these functions combined into a single software suite. Cadence Virtuoso is used at CSUS for similar tasks in more advanced classes, and for graduate student projects in integrated circuit design.
