Advanced simulations for analog & mixed-signal environments
Cadence® PSpice® simulation provides industry-standard solutions for accurate analog and mixed-signal simulations. PSpice A/D is a full-featured, native mixed-signal simulator. To improve design performance, yield, and reliability use robust PSpice Advanced Analysis (AA) tools in conjunction with PSpice A/D.
PSpice and The MathWorks MATLAB Simulink package integrates two industry-leading simulation tools in a powerful co-simulation environment (SLPS). Together, they give designers the ability to perform system-level simulations that include realistic electrical models of actual components. Design and integration problems can be discovered much earlier in the design process, reducing the number of prototypes needed to execute the design.
Key benefits
- Single-button simulation and cross-probing and full integration with Cadence Allegro® Design Entry HDL and OrCAD Capture
- Explore circuit behavior using basic DC, AC, noise, transient analysis
- Automatically identify analog and digital signals and apply A-to-D and D-to-A interfaces
- Prevents board failures by determining which components are over stressed using Smoke analysis or observing component yields using Monte Carlo
- Improve speed without loss of accuracy via integrated analog and event-driven digital simulations
- Allows system-level interfaces to be tested with actual electrical designs with SLPS integration
