Fit–2, an Extraction Program Based on the Spice–pac Simulation Software
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accurate and reliable simulation of a circuit behaviour cannot be obtained without adequate device models. FIT–2 is an interactive program for extraction of transistor parameters for SPICE–like circuit simulators. It is based on a circuit simulator rather than an explicit set of model equations. Several optimization methods are built into the program to provide robust as well as efficient fitting of device characteristics. Flexibility of the approach is obtained by specification of extraction details in the data sets rather than the extraction procedure. Several directions for further research are identified.

Table–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 ...

One oC the most popular and most powerCul circuit simulators, the SPICE-2G program Crom University oC California, Berkeley, is rather inefficient in interactive applications because oC its "batch-oriented" structure. SPICE-PAC is a package (or a set) oC subroutines which is Cunctionally equivalent to the SPICE-2G circuit simulator, i.e., it accepts the same circuit description and perCorms all ...

An interface to symbolic circuit analysis has been developed for a SPICE-like circuit simulator in order to integrate numerical simulation with an existing program for symbolic circuit analysis. In effect, both numerical and symbolic analyses use the same internal representation of circuits which makes the two approaches truly complementary. This integrated simulation capability is used in simu...
