Design, Validate, and Optimize Design Performance, Cost-Effectiveness, and Reliability 2 www.cadence.com Benefits The core benefits of PSpice are: Circuit Analysis -Run multiple analyses such as Transient, Bias Point, Worst-case, Monte Carlo, AC/DC Sweep, Temperature Sweep, and more to explore and evaluate your circuit's behavior. Electro-Mechanical System Simulation - Model, analyze, and optimize the performance and behavior of your electromechanical systems under various scenarios with co-simulation. Extensive Component Library - From discretes to MOSFETs, access, select, and simulate your circuits from a library of over 35,000 parameterized models. PSpice Modeling Applications - Easily create custom simulation-ready models with specific parameters for devices such as diodes, switches, transformers, and more. Waveform Analysis - Evaluate circuit waveform results with customizable plot windows, measurement functions, and vital trace data to verify circuit performance against design requirements. Advanced Analysis Features Monte Carlo Analysis - Predict the behavior of a circuit statistically when multiple components are varied within their tolerance ranges. By adjusting the tolerances of all the parts in your circuit over several simulations, you can approximate the yield of building many boards. These measurements help you determine what percentage of boards have the potential to be out of spec and affect yield. If the percentage is too high, running a sensitivity analysis can help identify the component(s) that might need to be tightened up. For example, you can swap a 10% tolerance component with a 1% component to improve your yield, or conversely, if you have components that aren't too critical, you can reduce cost by going with a 10% or 20% tolerance. Optimizer Analysis - Analyze analog circuits and systems to fine-tune design parameters faster than trial-and-error to find the best component values to achieve your performance goals and constraints. Circuit specifications can be as simple as an output voltage maximum, a more complex output calculation such as the cutoff frequency for a low-pass filter, or an entire curve using the Optimizer curve-fitting capability. Parametric Plotter - Enables sweeping of multiple parameters once a simulated circuit has been created. It also provides an efficient way to analyze sweep results, sweep any number of design and model parameters (in any combination), and view the results in Plot or Probe in tabular or plot form.
