1 Noise analysis (NOISE) |
||||
|
|
||||
|
The noise analysis does analysis device-generated noise for the given |
||||
|
circuit. When provided with an input source and an output port, the analysis |
||||
|
calculates the noise contributions of each device (and each noise generator |
||||
|
within the device) to the output port voltage. It also calculates the input |
||||
|
noise to the circuit, equivalent to the output noise referred to the |
||||
|
specified input source. This is done for every frequency point in a specified |
||||
|
range - the calculated value of the noise corresponds to the spectral density |
||||
|
of the circuit variable viewed as a stationary gaussian stochastic process. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
2 Operating point analysis (OP) |
||||
|
|
||||
|
The operating point analysis determines the dc operating point of the |
||||
|
circuit with inductors shorted and capacitors opened. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
3 Operating point sweep Analysis (DC) |
||||
|
|
||||
|
The operating point sweep analysis determines the values of output |
||||
|
variables while one or two specified independent voltage or current source is |
||||
|
stepped over a user-specified range and the dc output variables are stored |
||||
|
for each sequential source value. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
3.1 Enhancements |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Added resistance and temperature sweep. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
4 Pole-zero analysis (PZ) |
||||
|
|
||||
|
The pole-zero analysis computes the poles and/or zeros in the small-signal |
||||
|
ac transfer function. The program first computes the dc operating point and |
||||
|
then determines the linearized, small-signal models for all the nonlinear |
||||
|
devices in the circuit. This circuit is then used to find the poles and zeros |
||||
|
of the transfer function. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
5 Small-Signal distortion analysis (DISTO) |
||||
|
|
||||
|
The distortion analysis computes steady-state harmonic and intermodulation |
||||
|
products for small input signal magnitudes. Not all devices are supported. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
6 Small Signal frequency response analysis (AC) |
||||
|
|
||||
|
The ac small-signal computes the ac output variables as a function of |
||||
|
frequency. The program first computes the dc operating point of the circuit |
||||
|
and determines linearized, small-signal models for all of the nonlinear |
||||
|
devices in the circuit. The resultant linear circuit is then analyzed over a |
||||
|
user-specified range of frequencies. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
7 Sensitivity analysis (SENS) |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Ngspice will calculate either the DC operating-point sensitivity or the AC |
||||
|
small-signal sensitivity of an output variable with respect to all circuit |
||||
|
variables, including model parameters. Spice calculates the difference in an |
||||
|
output variable (either a node voltage or a branch current) by perturbing |
||||
|
each parameter of each device independently. |
||||
|
|
||||
DC : DC-sweep analysis |
|
||||
+ Added resistance sweep as in spice 2. |
|
||||
* Note: It is possible to perform a generic parametric sweep ? |
|
||||
|
|
||||
DISTO : Small signal distortion analysis |
|
||||
|
8 Transfer function analysis (TF) |
||||
|
|
||||
NOISE : Noise analysis |
|
||||
|
The (small signal) transfer function analysis computes the dc small-signal |
||||
|
value of a transfer function (ratio of output variable to input source), |
||||
|
input resistance, and output resistance is also computed as a part of the dc |
||||
|
solution. |
||||
|
|
||||
OP : Operating point analysis |
|
||||
|
|
||||
PZ : Pole-Zero analysis |
|
||||
|
9 Transient analysis (TRAN) |
||||
|
|
||||
SENS : Sensitivity analysis |
|
||||
|
The transient analysis computes the transient output variables as a |
||||
|
function of time over a user-specified time interval. The initial conditions |
||||
|
are automatically determined by a dc analysis. All sources which are not time |
||||
|
dependent (for example, power supplies) are set to their dc value. |
