Course Description
This course introduces the Virtuoso® Analog Design Environment L for setting up and controlling analog and mixed-signal simulations. You run analog simulations using Spectre®, Spectre Turbo, and UltraSim simulators. You also explore our newest analog simulator, Accelerated Parallel Simulation (APS). You run specialized simulations, including device checking, DC match, Virtuoso Analog VoltageStorm® Option, and Virtuoso Analog ElectronStorm® Option. You apply the Open Command Environment for Analysis (OCEAN) scripting language to running simulations in a batch mode.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Simulate circuits with the Virtuoso Spectre Circuit simulator, Spectre Turbo, and Virtuoso UltraSim full-chip simulator
- Analyze simulation results with the Virtuoso Visualization and Analysis waveform display, the calculator, and the Direct Plot utility, using dependent expressions to create and set outputs
- Run parametric and stability analyses
- Use the Component Description Format (CDF) to modify component parameters
- Use the Hierarchy Editor to create design configurations
- Run the Virtuoso Analog VoltageStorm and ElectronStorm options to determine IR-Drop and electromigration issues in a design layout
- Use the OCEAN scripting language to run batch simulations

"Very beneficial training and great instructor! Far above expectations!"
Jean-Yves Couet, STMicroelectronics
“The training was super! I totally enjoyed the atmosphere and HOW MUCH I could learn! The trainer was very supportive and also solved tasks which were out of course scope! Thanks a lot!”
Sabine Salzmann, Infineon Technologies
“I have attended twenty or more training courses on CAD tools over the years, I found the presentation to be one of the best. I don’t feel any improvement to this course is required. This course did for me exactly what I thought it should, I am very appreciative and impressed.”
Alan Duffy, Samsung
“Very good course. Very good labs, and expert instructor.”
Eoin Carey, Macom
"I am totally satisfied and am looking forward to attending the next course. I specifically like the labs because they helped me to learn the most that I expected to."
Tomislav Matic, University J.J. Strossmayer
"I have been using ADE-L and ADE-XL on my own before the training. However I learnt a lot with advanced labs. The course is very clear and complete. The training and the labs fully meet my expectations to be able to use both ADE-L and ADE-XL daily now."
Sylvain Jolivet, Atmel
" Very good experience with course and meeting our team objectives.”
Geoffry Brehmer, AMS
“I am very pleased with the course and overall organization. I specifically like how the lab manual is written because it makes me this course much easier to follow.”
Marijan Herceg, University of J.J. Strossmayer
