Comparision Spectre HSpice HSim

Not open for further replies.
if we compare Nanosim and HSIM, i personally feel that HSIM is better..
It is faster than Nanosim + NASSDA guys provide good support..
 

one more thing..
Y ELDO is not in the list of accurate simulators, I think it is good enough..
 

I agree with opamp741, the support of Nassda is much better than Synopsys, even for a large customer.
 

Very good opinions,
Another question in this area: Is it possible to change the accuracy of classic simulator like hspice to get an overview of the targer system befor the main long-run simulation? Simply how you can change the accuracy in Hpsice without going to another tool?
THX
 

HSPICE has an option so called FAST. But, I don't know ... how fast !

Then, you can can play with the TSTEP (.TRAN TSTEP SIMTIME)
... you loose accuracy to gain speed.
 

As far as I know, Hsim is the fastest simulation tool for analog circuit. It is often used in the logic part of mixed circuit in my company.
As for the spectre , it is the easiest tool , 'cause you can find schematic in the screen ,then plot the signal you are interested in.
 

It's undoubted that HSpice is the best for RF circuit simulation.

What's the model used for RF simulation? For instance, Level 49 is well known for sub-micron CMOS circuits.

Another good simulator for RF is ADS2003 :roll:

The level of models is used to fit the simulator .
For instance, level 11 is for spectre and level 49 is for Hspice.
If you have the models provided by foundry , i think you can use it to do RF simulation in Hspice or Spectre.

If you are using 'ADS' , you might have to edit the syntax to meet 'ADS' spec.
