HSIM
Overview
This one-day training will teach you how to use the Synopsys HSIM FastSpice simulator. It will introduce HSIMplus, a comprehensive platform for simulation and analysis of high performance analog, mixed-signal, memory, and system on-chip designs including important post-layout effects.
The HSIMplus platform is built on the HSIM simulator to provide a fully integrated solution for nanometer IC design, including options for dynamic voltage drop analysis considering the timing impact of power net variation; reliability analysis of power and signal nets; coupling capacitance and dynamic crosstalk behavior; and MOSFET device reliability. Integrations with Cadence’s analog design environment and various HDL simulators, as well as circuit screening complete the set of available options.
Objectives
At the end of this workshop the student should be able to:
- Learn the fundamentals of HSIM
- Learn how to set up a basic simulation
- Learn timing and power analysis commands
- Learn netlist settings for back-annotation
- Acquire hands on experience from course lab exercises
Audience Profile
This training is targeted for analog and/or mixed-signal designers.
