Cadence® PSpice® A/D is the de-facto industry-standard Spice-based simulator for system design. It simulates complex mixed-signal designs containing both analog and digital parts, and it supports a wide range of simulation models such as IGBTs, pulse width modulators, DACs, and ADCs. Its built-in mathematical functions and behavioral modeling techniques enable fast and accurate simulation of designs with efficient debugging. PSpice A/D also allows users to design and generate simulation models for transformers and DC inductors. Scalability options include PSpice Advanced Analysis capabilities and integration with MathWorks MATLAB Simulink for co-simulation. Advanced capabilities such as temperature and stress analysis, electro-mechanical simulation, worst-case analysis, Monte Carlo analysis, and curve-fit optimizers help engineers design high-performance circuits that are reliable and withstand parameter variation. Full integration with Allegro® Design Entry HDL and OrCAD® Capture gives customers a choice among schematic tools to capture their designs. Features/Benefits Determines which components are over-stressed using Smoke analysis and observes component yields using Monte Carlo analysis to prevent board failures Advanced simulation technology increases productivity, improves reliability, and speeds convergence on larger designs MATLAB Simulink interface allows system-level interfaces to be tested with actual electrical designs emulating real-world applications
