ANALOG/MIXED-SIGNAL (AMS) DESIGN AND VERIFICATION Tanner T-Spice Simulator UI displays schematic, spice netlist, simulation logs and waveform data. Fast, Accurate Simulations for Analog and Mixed-signal IC Designs Tanner T-Spice simulation provides fast, accurate simulation for analog and analog/ mixed-signal (AMS) IC designs. T-Spice not only simulates circuits quickly and with a high degree of accuracy, but also is compatible with industry leading standards and integrates easily with the Tanner S-Edit schematic capture tool and Tanner Waveform Viewer. T-Spice includes improved accuracy with advanced modeling, multi-threading support, device state plotting, real-time waveform viewing and analysis, and a command wizard for simple SPICE syntax creation. Improve Simulation Accuracy with Advanced Modeling T-Spice provides extensive support of behavioral models using Verilog-A, expression controlled sources and table-mode simulation. Behavioral models give you the flexibility to create customized models of virtually any device. T-Spice also supports the latest industry models, including BSIM4 and the Penn State Philips (PSP) model. And T-Spice supports foundry extensions, including HSPICE foundry extensions to models. Other modeling-related benefits include: ■ Supports PSP, BSIM3.3, BSIM4.8, BSIM SOI 4.5, EKV 2.6, MOS 9, 11, 20, 30, 31, 40, RPI a-Si & Poly-Si TFT, HiSim, VBIC, Modella, and MEXTRAM models; also includes enhanced diode and temperature equations to improve compatibility with many foundry model libraries ■ Includes two stress effect models, from the Berkeley BSIM4 model and from TSMC processes in the BSIM3 model, to provide more accuracy in smaller geometry processes ■ Supports gate and body resistance networks in RF modeling; also performs non-quasi-static (NQS) modeling ■ Supports geometry-based parasitic models for multi-finger devices ■ Models FD-PD SOI devices; and self-heating and RF resistor networks ■ Performs table-based modeling using measured device data to model a device FEATURES AND BENEFITS: ■ Fast, accurate analog and analog/ mixed-signal (AMS) circuit simulation ■ Multi-threading support for shorter run times ■ HSPICE- and PSpice-compatible syntax to allow easy integration of legacy designs and foundry models ■ Support for the latest industry foundry models, including PSP, BSIM3.3, BSIM4.8, BSIM SOI 4.4, EKV 2.6, MOS 9, PSP, RPI a-Si & Poly-Si TFT, VBIC, and MEXTRAM models for reliable and accurate simulations ■ Verilog-A and Verilog-AMS support for mixed-signal co-simulation ■ Accurately characterize circuit behavior using virtual data measurements, Monte Carlo analysis, parameter sweeping, DC analysis, AC/noise analysis and transient analysis ■ Automatically selects advanced convergence algorithms for reliable DC convergence ■ Ease of use: intuitive and quick learning curve ■ Unparalleled customer support ■ Flexible licensing —Mentor Graphics*
