Higher-level Modelling Extensions to Spice-like Circuit Simulators
نویسنده
چکیده
Three different but complementary approaches to higher-level specification of analog circuits are proposed as a set of extensions to SPICElike circuit simulators. They include table-driven, formuladriven and program-driven generalized characteristics of (nonlinear) circuit elements as well as whole “blocks”. Examples of SPICEPAC enhancements are used as an illustration of these approaches.

Efficient Parameters Selection for CNTFET Modelling Using Artificial Neural Networks
In this article different types of artificial neural networks (ANN) were used for CNTFET (carbon nanotube transistors) simulation. CNTFET is one of the most likely alternatives to silicon transistors due to its excellent electronic properties. In determining the accurate output drain current of CNTFET, time lapsed and accuracy of different simulation methods were compared. The training data for...
متن کاملSPICE-compatible modelling technique for simulating floating-gate transistors
A technique is introduced to enable the simulation of floating-gate transistors within standard analogue circuit simulators, such as SPICE. This technique can be used in all types of circuit simulations, ranging from DC sweeps to charge-modification scenarios. The technique is then used to simulate several analogue circuits, the results of which show strong agreement with identical circuits fab...

Systems designed for reliability must be validated through simulations. However, traditional SPICE like simulators or even mixed-mode simulators are too slow for the task of simulating the eeects of-particle hits on relatively large circuits.

متن کاملTable–driven Analyses in the Spice–pac Circuit Simulation Package
Recent applications of SPICE–PAC to transistor parameter extraction and hierarchical simulation require rather flexible circuit analyses, performed for irregularly distributed values of independent variables. An implementation of table–driven analyses (DC, AC and time–domain) is described in which tables of arbitrarily distributed independent variables (voltages, frequencies or timepoints) are ...
