PSpice Advanced Analysis User’s Guide.pdf

PSpice Advanced Analysis is an add-on program for PSpice and PSpice A/D. Use these four Advanced Analysis tools to improve circuit performance, reliability, and yield:

• Sensitivity identifies which components have parameters critical to the measurement goals of your circuit design.
• The four Optimizer engines optimize the parameters of key circuit components to meet your performance goals.
• Smoke warns of component stress due to power dissipation, increase in junction temperature, secondary breakdowns, or violations of voltage / current limits.
• Monte Carlo estimates statistical circuit behavior and yield.
