Mixed Signal Analysis

Analog / Mixed Signal Analysis

Bringing the power and flexibility of standards-based modeling and analysis to your PCB development flow.

OVERVIEW

Analog / Mixed Signal Analysis

Xpedition AMS extends electronic circuit simulation beyond standard time and frequency domain analyses to include advanced performance simulations and virtual in-system verification in the Xpedition PCB design flow.

Powerful PCB Simulation and Analysis
Design your board to specification using standard time and frequency domain analyses and extensive model libraries. Examine performance sensitivities, analyze statistical behavior and manufacturability, determine worst case performance, and calculate component stresses using advanced design analyses. Build virtual prototypes of your board designs and test them with a model of the end system.

Single Schematic Drives Simulation and Layout
AMS simulation is tightly integrated with Xpedition Designer. The schematic you create for simulation is the same schematic you use to drive board layout. No more drawing a schematic in a simulation tool, then redrawing the same schematic in a PCB schematic tool. Get to a real board faster with fewer errors.

SPICE (+ PSpice) Model Support
Xpedition AMS supports standard SPICE models directly, and PSpice models through a fast and simple conversion process

KEY FEATURES

Analog Mixed-Signal Circuit Simulation

Xpedition AMS expands standard SPICE-based circuit analysis to leverage industry advances in PCB modeling and simulation, accelerate circuit development, and speed verification.

One Schematic Drives Everything

Why draw circuits twice? Xpedition AMS is tightly integrated with the Xpedition design flow so the schematic used to drive simulation also moves your design seamlessly to layout.

Advanced Design Simulation

Extend standard time and frequency domain analysis to explore design sensitivities, sweep circuit parameters, determine manufacturing yields including corner-case behavior, and analyze worst-case performance. Verify design performance using a virtual prototype of the target system.

Device Modeling Choices

Leverage the wide range of component vendors’ SPICE and PSPICE models. Extend your modeling and analysis capabilities with VHDL-AMS, the IEEE industry-standard language for modeling AMS and mixed-technology design behavior.
