OrCAD PSPICE Advanced Analysis

Automatically fine tune your circuits

Maximize the performance of your circuit automatically with the PSpice® Advanced Analysis suite of tools. Advanced Analysis is used in conjunction with PSpice A/D to improve design performance, yield, and reliability.

PSpice Advanced Analysis tool suite includes:

Sensitivity:

Sensitivity examines how much each component affects circuit behavior by itself and in comparison to the other components. Use Sensitivity to identify the sensitive components, and then export the components to Optimizer to fine-tune the circuit behavior.

Optimizer:

Analyzes analog circuits and systems, fine-tuning your designs faster than trial-and-error bench testing can. Optimizer helps you find the best component values to meet your performance goals and constraints. Goals and constraints can be specified as either measurements or curves. You can specify multiple goals and constraints to handle competing specifications.

Smoke:

Use Smoke for displaying average, RMS, or peak values from simulation results and comparing these values against corresponding safe operating limits. You can also use Smoke for creating, modifying, and configuring derate files for use with Smoke Analysis.

Monte Carlo:

Predicts the behavior of a circuit statistically when part values are varied within their tolerance range. Monte Carlo also calculates yield, which can be used for mass manufacturing predictions.

Parametric Plotter:

The Parametric Plotter added to Advanced Analysis provides the functionality of sweeping multiple parameters. Once you have created and simulated a circuit, you can use the Parametric Plotter to perform this analysis. It also provides an efficient way to analyze sweep results. Using Parametric Plotter, you can sweep any number of design and model parameters (in any combinations) and view results in Plot/Probe in tabular or plot form.
