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

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

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

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

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

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