New software tools generate and qualify SPICE models for advanced design model builds
Published: 24 August 2012 - Michelle Winny
Agilent Technologies Inc. is now shipping its SPICE modelling tools obtained through the company’s acquisition of Accelicon Technologies in February.
The tools – Model Builder Program (MBP), Model Quality Assurance (MQA) and Advanced Model Analysis (AMA) – are now an integral part of the company’s device-modelling portfolio.
The MBP 2012.07 enables SPICE model extraction with features that facilitate high-volume, high-efficiency model generation for foundries and integrated device manufacturers. It is also useful for SPICE library customisation for fabless companies to enable concurrent circuit designs.
This solution is essentially a platform for performing automated, comprehensive and systematic SPICE model qualification. It is targeted at SPICE library signoff at foundries and IDMs, and for SPICE library acceptance in design houses.
