A Qucs/QucsStudio swept parameter technique for statistical circuit simulation

Brinson M. E.

International Journal of Microelectronics and Computer Science

2013

Vol. 4, nr 3

92--97

Qucs and QucsStudio open source circuit simulators have a wealth of built in swept data features, including facilities for linear and logarithmic scans of simulation variables and for setting component values and device parameters. These simulators also allow semicolon separated lists of numerical values to be used as swept data. This little known feature provides a very ﬂexible mechanism for generating component and device parameter statistical data. An outline of a statistical circuit simulation technique is presented in this paper. The proposed technique can be used with any general purpose circuit simulator equipped with swept data capabilities and as such is suitable for the study of device and circuit performance resulting from variations in device parameters and component values. The operation of the proposed simulation technique is illustrated with the results from an investigation of the statistical performance of a simple MOS current mirror integrated circuit cell, modeled with a speed optimized Verilog-A version of a long channel EPFL_EKV v2.6 MOS transistor model.

Verilog-A Compact Semiconductor Device Modelling and Circuit Macromodelling with the QucsStudio-ADMS "Turn-Key" Modelling System

Brinson M. E., Margraf M.

International Journal of Microelectronics and Computer Science

Vol. 3, nr 1

The Verilog-A "Analogue Device Model Synthesizer" (ADMS) has in recent years become an established modelling tool for GNU General Public License circuit simulator development. Qucs and ngspice are two examples of open source circuit simulators that employ ADMS for compact semiconductor model construction. This paper presents a "turn- key" compact device modelling and circuit macromodelling system based on ADMS and implemented in the QucsStudio circuit design, simulation and manufacturing environment. A core feature of the new system is a modelling procedure which does not require users to manually patch, by hand, circuit simulator C++ code. At the start of QucsStudio simulation the software automatically detects any changes in Verilog-A model code, re-compiling and dynamically linking the modified code to the body of the QucsStudio cod e. The inherent flexibility of the "turn-key" system encourage s rapid experimentation with analogue and RF compact device models and circuit macromodels. In this paper QucsStudio "turn-key" modelling is illustrated by the design of a single stage RF amplifier circuit and the Harmonic Balance large signal AC simulation of a 50 Ω RF diode switch.
