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. |
|||
|
|||
TF : Transfer function analysis |
|||
|
|||
TRAN : Transient analysis |
