This authoritative book shows students how to use the PSpice circuit simulation program with the schematic capture front end, Capture . It features an abundant collection of examples that demonstrate how to create a circuit, run different analyses, and obtain results from those analyses. 

Schematic capture with Cadence PSpice / Marc E. Hemiter.—2nd ed. p. cm.

This manual is designed to show students how to use the PSpice circuit simulation program from Oread with the schematic capture front end, Capture. It is a collection of examples that show students how to create a circuit, how to run the different analyses, and how to obtain the results from those analyses. This manual does not attempt to teach students circuit theory or electronics that task is left for the main text. Instead, the manual takes the approach of showing students how to simulate many circuits found throughout the engineering curriculum. An example is the DC circuit shown below. 

There are many other advantages to using the schematic capture version. The enormous popularity of the Microsoft Windows operating system should attest to the ease of use of a graphics-based interface compared to a text-based interface. One such advantage is automatic documentation. When you simulate a circuit, you automatically have a circuit schematic. This schematic can be incorporated into lab notebooks and reports. In a corporate environment, documentation of this type is extremely important. With the Windows operating system, the schematics can be incorporated into written documents using screen captures. This manual is an example of what can be accomplished. 

A major improvement in terms of usability has been the addition of a graphical waveform post processing and schematic capture tools. Waveform post processors greatly facilitate computation and documentation of simulation results. Schematic capture automates the SPICE netlist generation dramatically reducing the number of syntax errors. 

The first module is the schematic capture program. Originally, using SPICE meant translating a schematic by hand into the SPICE description language for calculation. The schematic capture program allows the user to pull down parts from a menu, wire together the components...

Schematic capture The process by which the functionality of the chip is captured in an electrical schematic, usually with the aid of a computer, and using components from a cell library resident in that computer.

In the schematic stage, components and their interconnection pattern (netlist) are defined, simulated, and verified for functionahty using schematic capture tools such as Mentor s Design Architect and Cadence s Concept. (The schematic interconnection list is usually called schematic netlist. It is an electrical network-based grouping of connection points of... 

The most commonly used HDLs today are VHDL and Verilog. The desired fimctionality of a design is first captured in HDL code, usually Verilog or VHDL. This step is complex, particularly for 1C designers who are accustomed to schematic capture tools. This is further compounded by the fact that this code then must be synthesized into an optimal design which meets the functional requirements of the initial specification. 

The book is for anyone who hates reading manuals but would still like to learn logic synthesis as practiced in the real world. Synopsys Design Compiler the leading synthesis tool in the EDA marketplace, is the primary focus of this book. The contents of this book are specially organized to assist designers accustomed to schematic capture based design, develop the required expertise to effectively use the Synopsys...
