Course Description
For classroom delivery, this course is taught as a half-day session (4 hours).
In the other core module Tranient Analysis, you determine what transient analysis does. You examine the Convergence Criteria for transient analysis and learn how to set the numerical integration method and identify the issues faced during a transient run. You understand what Local Truncation Error (LTE) means. You will also set up and run the transient analysis, limit the time steps during a transient simulation, control the output data using data reduction and data compression techniques, perform small-signal analysis during a transient analysis, sweep parameters during a transient analysis, recover from transient analysis terminations and print additional information that might help diagnose accuracy and convergence problems using both the command-line and ADE Explorer environment.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Examine the DC Operating Point (OP) algorithm
- Run DC and transient simulations on analog circuits and netlists
- Examine the use of nodesets and initial conditions
- Determine the bias conditions using Spectre DC analysis
- Examine the circuit behavior by performing Spectre transient analysis
- Use the diagnose output option to identify convergence problems
