Cadence PSpice A/D and Advanced Analysis
Cadence® PSpice® is a full-featured, native analog and mixed-signal circuit
simulator. Used in conjuction with PSpice A/D, PSpice Advanced Analysis
tools help designers improve yield,and reliability of their designs.
Cadence® PSpice® A/D is the de-facto industry-standard Spice-based simulator for
system design. It simulates complex mixed-signal designs containing both analog
and digital parts, and it supports a wide range of simulation models such as
IGBTs, pulse width modulators, DACs, and ADCs. Its built-in mathematical
functions and behavioral modeling techniques enable fast and accurate simulation
of designs with efficient debugging. PSpice A/D also allows users to design and
generate simulation models for transformers and DC inductors.
Scalability options include PSpice Advanced Analysis capabilities and
integration with MathWorks MATLAB Simulink for co-simulation. Advanced
capabilities such as temperature and stress analysis, electro-mechanical
simulation, worst-case analysis, Monte Carlo analysis, and curve-fit optimizers
help engineers design high-performance circuits that are reliable and withstand
parameter variation.
Full integration with Allegro®
Design Entry HDL and OrCAD®
Capture gives
customers a choice among schematic tools to capture their designs.
