McCAD 3SPICE is an interactive software that enables mixed mode circuit simulation. It facilitates the creation of a wide range of circuit designs, including those involving analog and digital circuits. With this software, users can test and optimize their circuits to ensure functionality and performance.
McCAD 3-SPICE is a software program designed as a tool for circuit simulation, based on the latest version of Berkeley's SPICE 3. Developed to take advantage of available processing speeds, McCAD 3-SPICE enables fast simulations and allows for interactive mixed mode circuit simulation.
The software can be used in a stand-alone configuration or fully integrated with McCAD Schematics Plus (SimPlus bundle), offering schematic capture, simulation, and graphic waveform generation in an integrated environment. Basic McCAD Schematics provides a standard Spice Net list, which can also be used with McCAD 3-SPICE.
The 3-SPICE simulator provides accurate and flexible modeling of semiconductor devices, passive elements, and ideal switch components, including MOSFETs, GaAs MESFETs, resistors, capacitors, inductor models, Lossy transmission lines, Coupled transmission lines, Voltage and current-controlled switches. It utilizes an enhanced version of the powerful industry-standard Spice3 simulation engine and offers advanced features at a fraction of the price of other simulators, such as Pole, Zero, Transfer Function, Distortion, Fourier, DC, AC, Noise, Transient, Distortion, Fourier, Sensitivity, and small-signal transfer function, and supports the advanced BSIM3V3 and BSIM4.
McCAD 3-SPICE allows users to analyze simulation results and view them in a variety of ways. Complex math operations, such as finding the phase, magnitude, and calculating the derivative, sine, cosine, tan log, and natural log can be applied to the resultant data. Graphical annotation enables users to mark up and illustrate directly on their plot results, making it useful for generating reports.
Key features of McCAD 3SPICE include Simulation/Analysis tools such as Operating Point Analysis, AC Analysis, DC Analysis, Transient Analysis, Noise Analysis (Integrated & Spectral), Sensitivity Analysis, Small-Signal Distortion Analysis, Transfer Analysis, and Pole-Zero Analysis. It also offers Graphic & Interface tools such as Incremental Plotting, Multiple Plots, Polar & Smith Plots, X vs. Y Plotting, Multiple Traces on Y axis, Choice of Output Functions, and is interactive with McCAD SchematicsPlus. Other features include faster simulations than Spice 2G6, convergence aids-Source Stepping, Halt & Resume simulations, compatibility with 2G6 & PSpice, Export Data to other applications, accepts standard Spice files from other Schematic capture packages, Balloon Help, and free Model Libraries Included.
McCAD 3SPICE models various components such as Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors, Mutual Inductors, Transmission Lines, Diodes, Bipolar Transistors (BJTs), JFETs (Field Effect Transistors), MOSFETs: MOS1, MOS2, MOS3, BSIM1, BSIM2, MOS6, MESFETs (GaAs FET), Semiconductor capacitor and resistor models, Current & Voltage controlled switch, Voltage controlled Voltage source, Current controlled Voltage source, Voltage controlled Current source, Current controlled Current source, and Subcircuits.
Overall, McCAD 3-SPICE is a cost-effective simulation software that provides users with accurate modeling and advanced features in an integrated environment, making it a popular choice for designers.
