PSpice Advanced Analysis

PSpice Advanced Analysis
The Cadence PSpice Advanced Analysis Tools automatically fine tune your circuits for for optimum performance and improved quality by using advanced simulations of critical metrics.

Cadence® PSpice® Advanced Analysis enables engineers to create virtual prototypes of designs and maximize circuit performance automatically. Capabilities such as temperature and Smoke analysis, electro-mechanical simulation, worst-case analysis, Monte Carlo analysis, and automatic performance optimization algorithms improve design quality and maximize circuit performance automatically. These simulation capabilities give designers an in depth understanding of there circuits and lets them go beyond basic validation.

The PSpice simulator integrates seamlessly with OrCAD Capture, allowing you to use the same schematic for both simulation and PCB layout, which reduces rework and errors. The integration also allows for easy setup and simulation runs as well as cross-probing of simulation results. The hierarchical netlister with parametric sub-circuits expedites the netlisting of complex hierarchical designs. The Magnetic Parts Editor helps designers build transformers for power supplies.

Benefits:
  • Automatic performance optimization algorithms improve design quality
  • Go beyond just validating designs Sensitivity, Smoke, and Monte Carlo analysis 
  • Parametric Plotter allows sweeping of multiple parameters simultaneously
  • Tight integration with schematic tools for improved accuracy
Analog Circuit Optimizer
The optimizer analyzes analog circuits and systems, fine-tuning designs faster than trial-and-error bench testing. It helps find the best component...
Sensitivity Analysis
The Sensitivity Analysis identifies which component parameters are critical to the goals of a circuit’s performance by examining how each component affects...
Monte Carlo Analysis
Monte Carlo predicts the behavior of a circuit statistically when part values are varied within their tolerance range.
Smoke Analysis
The Smoke analysis warns of stressed components due to power dissipation, increases in junction temperature, secondary breakdowns, or violations of voltage/current limits.
Parametric Plotter
Once a circuit is created and simulated, the parametric plotter is used for sweeping multiple parameters.

Recorded Webinar
Multipliers are often used for signal processing applications. In this note, two examples are presented to illustrate the use of a multiplier to make an amplitude modulator and a frequency doubler.
Application Note
This app note from Cadence takes a look at examples of how the Analog Behavioral Modeling feature in the Cadence® PSpice® environment can cope when generic SPICE fails.
Application Note
The “eye” display is frequently used to illustrate the voltage and timing margins present in a system transmitting digital data. This App note will show how to use PSpice Probe's macro feature to generate an "eye" diagram
Application Note
With "digital worst-case timing simulation," you are able to use Cadence® PSpice® A/D to evaluate the timing behavior of your digital and mixed analog/digital designs as a function of component propagation delay tolerances.
Application Note
Analog Behavioral Modeling (ABM) can be used to model a nonlinear resistor through use of Ohms law, tables, and expressions which describe resistance. This application note provide several examples.
Application Note
The nonlinear capacitor is modeled by using ABM (Analog Behavioral Modeling) available in PSpice.
Application Note
Input and output characteristics of circuits can be expressed in terms of scattering parameters (s-parameters). By adding two subcircuits, s-parameter data can be printed to the output file or displayed in the Probe window.
Application Note
