  1. Micron Technology ClinicThe Algorithms, Tools, and Capabilities of HSimPlus Presenter: Kristian Blomquist

  2. HSimPlus Simulation Flow

  3. System Coupled simulation is too complex for large circuits & power nets Phase 1 Decoupled circuit simulation is run to create ideal current sources Phase 2 Power net simulation with the current sources included Power Power Net Reliability Analysis (PWRA) Phase 1 IR drop calculated Phase 2 Node voltage and branch current Two Phase Analysis

  4. Hierarchical Netlisting • Provides capability to simulate and analyze: • Large circuit blocks • Groups of large interacting circuit blocks • Full-chip designs • Reduced memory usage

  5. Post Layout Acceleration (PLA) • Flat Netlist Vs. Hierarchical Netlist • Flat Netlist • PLA off • Hierarchical Netlist • PLA on • RC’s distributed throughout

  6. Circuit layout with PLA Circuit layout without PLA

  7. Newton Raphson equation andDC iteration values • Mixed signal simulator converts from digital to analog and vice versa • Example:

  8. Precision • HSimPluscontrols precision and speed • HSIMPARPRECISION • HSIMRCPRECISION • HSIMMOSPRECISION • HSIMVPRECISION • HSIMIPRECISION

  9. HSimPlus Output Precision High Vs. Low Green Line is Highest Precision Purple Line is Lowest Precision

  10. Time Constraints Precision High Vs. Low • Simulation of 3 Bit Adder • 40 ns transient analysis

  11. Monte Carlo Analysis • Simulates changes due to processing irregularities • Gaussian, Uniform, or Limited distribution • Each iteration involves DC matching

  12. Monte Carlo OutputGaussian Distribution Thick Green Line is original Simulation Result

  13. HSimPlus Conclusion • Two-Phase Analysis • Effective model order reduction • Hierarchical netlisting • Is efficient improvement • Precision Vs. Time • Highest precision fails to complete • Monte Carlo • Effective processing simulation
