PSpice Advanced Analysis libraries The PSpice Advanced Analysis libraries contain over 4,300 analog parts. The Advanced Analysis libraries contain parameterized and standard parts. The majority of the parts are parameterized. The parametrized parts have tolerance, distribution, optimizable and smoke parameters that are required by the PSpice Advanced Analysis tools. Standard parts in the Advanced Analysis libraries are similar to parts in the standard PSpice libraries. The parametrized parts are associated with template-based PSpice models. An important advantage of using the template-based PSpice models is that you can pass model parameters as properties from the design entry tool. For example, if a template-based model is associated with a part, the model parameters that you specify on an instance of the part in your design will be passed to the model. There is no need to edit the model itself to change a parameter value. This is unlike the standard PSpice parts that are associated with device characteristic curve-based PSpice models, where you need to edit the model to change a simulation parameter. For more information on template-based and device characteristic curve-based PSpice models, see Chapter 4, "Creating and editing models." Use parametrized parts from Advanced Analysis libraries if you want to analyze the part with an Advanced Analysis tool. Most of the analog parts in the standard PSpice libraries contain smoke parameters. You can use these parts to perform smoke analysis using the Smoke tool in PSpice Advanced Analysis.
