• Sensitivity, which 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, which 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, which is used for displaying average, RMS, or peak values from simulation results and comparing these values against corresponding safe operating limits. You also can use Smoke for creating, modifying, and configuring derating files for use with Smoke Analysis.
• Monte Carlo, which 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, and displays data in a probability density histogram or a cumulative distribution graph.
• Parametric Plotter, which 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.
