SPICE Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis –Developed in 1970’s at Berkeley –Many commercial versions are available

The Basic Idea SPICE Deck Text file used for simulation Generate Spice Deck Schematic Entry Simulate

Examples of Types of Spice Simulations • Bias Point • DC Sweep • Parametric Sweep • Transient Analysis • AC sweep/Noise • Temperature • Monte Carlo

Generating a Netlist SPICE Netlist Text file used for simulation Schematic Entry (Common Data format: EDIF) Generate Netlist (SPICE Netlist Different flavors Quite similar) Simulate

Bias Point and DC sweep Bias Point Results • Single Operating point Example Vin = 3 V DC Sweep Results • Output as a function of Vin Vo Example Vin = 0 to 3 V 3 V Vin

Transient Analysis t t t Input: Time varying input (ex. Sinusoidal, digital clock) t Output: a function of time
