The Xyce team is pleased to announce the release of the Xyce™ Parallel Electronic Simulator Version 6.10. This release fixes a number of bugs in Xyce 6.9, and includes improvements to existing features of Xyce 6.9.
Highlights for Xyce Release 6.10 include:
Please see the Release Notes for important information about changes in this release, and a complete list of new features and enhancements.
Details about using Xyce are in the Xyce™ Users' Guide and the Xyce™ Reference Guide.
The process for building Xyce has changed in the 6.10 release. See the Building Guide part of the web site for details. The Frequently Asked Questions page of the web site has also been updated.
To obtain a copy of Xyce(TM) Release Version 6.10, please see the downloads section of the web site: http://xyce.sandia.gov/downloads
The team actively participates in an open forum for discussion of Xyce on Google Groups. Details on how to join this forum are on the Documentation and Tutorials page of the web site, http://xyce.sandia.gov/documentation/index.html.
Thank You,
The Xyce Team

Highlights for Xyce Release 6.10 include:
- An exponential temperature coefficient (TCE) was added to the resistor device.
- The lossy and lossless transmission lines (O and T devices) now work in harmonic balance analysis.
- The BSIM-CMG version 110 (MOSFET level 110) and the 3-terminal version of VBIC 1.3 (BJT level 11) have been extensively optimized. They now run much faster than they did in previous releases.
- The VBIC version 1.2 (BJT level 10) is deprecated and will be removed in the next version of Xyce. Users of VBIC are strongly advised to begin using the VBIC 1.3 3T device instead.
- The HICUM L2 model has been updated to the latest version (2.4.0).
- A long-standing bug in applying capacitor initial conditions (when IC= was specified on the instance line of a capacitor and either NOOP or UIC was used on a .TRAN line to skip the operating point computation of a transient) has been fixed.
- Improved robustness for HB analysis when the TAHB option is turned off.
- Sampling methods (Monte Carlo and Latin Hypercube Sampling) are now supported in Xyce, using the .SAMPLING command to specify sampling options, and .MEASURE for statistical outputs.
- Sweep loops can now be specified using the HSpice-style .DATA command. This capability has been applied to .STEP, .DC and .AC analysis.
- For linear circuits, .AC analysis can now also sweep device parameters at the same time as frequency, magnitude and phase.
- For sensitivity analysis, .PARAM, .GLOBAL_PARAM and .FUNC now work inside of objective functions.
- Model binning based on length and width parameters is now supported for MOSFET devices.
