SmartSpice 90-day Roadmap – April 2008
Performance
- Increase calculation performance of expressions, functions and derivatives
HSPICE Compatibility
- .MATERIAL and .SHAPE statements
- .DCNODESET statement
- Support ideal transformer for K element
- Custom seed initialization value for each TRANSIENT analysis in a netlist
- Increase performance of .ALTER functionality
HSIM compatibility
- Implement following HSIM CircuitCheck compatible commands:
- cckPmosG_lt_DS - find potentially conducting PMOS devices
- cckNmosG_gt_DS - find potentially conducting NMOS devices
- cckPmosB_lt_DS - check PMOS bulk connections
- cckNmosB_gt_DS - check NMOS bulk connections
Spectre Compatibility Library
- Generation of different format PSF files from SmartSpice
- Support instance and model parameters mapping on demand
- Support DC match, S-parameters and sensitivity analysis
- Support Monte Carlo syntax
- Support of new devices and models on demand
