What's Good About the Latest PSpice? The 16.6 Release Has Several New Enhancements!
The 16.6-2015 PSpice release has several new features and capabilities:
VBIC Support Added in PSpice
In case of early effect, quasi-saturation, temperature modeling, avalanche multiplication, and so on, VBIC, a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) model, can be used instead of the SPICE Gummel-Poon (SGP) model for better modeling than SGP.
Beginning with the 16.6-2015 release, a new Q device, which is a npn-type BJT model, is added to Capture library for the Capture-PSpice flow and can be accessed from breakout.olb. The model definition and netlist instance of the QVBICN model are:
- Model Defination: .model QVBICN CMI VBIC npn=1
- Netlist instance: Y_Q1 C B E S CMI orPSpiceDevices.dll QVIBICN
QVBICN is an example of Device Model Interface (DMI) support that is used to create specific devices from the model DLL files:
Note: The following PSpice DMI models require an Allegro AMS Simulator license for simulation:
- Digital and SystemC DMI models, such as Digital LogicExp devices using CMODEL parameter
- Analog DMI models, such as Y devices
- Models translated from VerilogA-ADMS
The DMI models that are shipped with PSpice, such as QVBICN DMI model, do not require the Allegro AMS Simulator license.
New Device Added in PSpice for DMI Support
A new generic device, Y device, is added in PSpice for DMI support. Using this generic device and DLL files, you can create various type of devices, such as BJT, voltage-controlled voltage source (VCVS), and thin-film transistor (TFT).
The DLL files are generated by compiling the C code. You can modify the C code to generate a device that can perform a specific function.
For more information on DMI models, refer the Device Model Interface section in PSpice A/D Reference Guide.
For more information on generating DLL files and compiling C code, refer to the following documents:
- PSpice DMI API Reference Guide
- PSpice Device and System Modeling with C/C++ and SystemC
ADMS XML Filters for Verilog-A to PSpice DMI Models Translation
Beginning with the 16.6-2015 release, Verilog-A models can be simulated by PSpice when converted to PSpice DMI models. The Verilog-A models are converted to an equivalent-C code by Automatic Device Model Synthesizer (ADMS) using the PSpice DMI-compatible XML filters, which are located at <installation>\tools\pspice\api\adms\xmls. The generated C code can be compiled into PSpice DMI-compatible DLL files.
For more information on Verilog-A support in PSpice, refer the PSpice Device and System Modeling with C/C++ and SystemC document.
Note: Only the ADMS-supported Verilog- A models are converted to PSpice DMI models.
Documentation Enhancements
Two new documents have been added for DMI support in the <installation>\doc folder:
- PSpice Device Modeling Interface API Reference Guide: Describes the APIs that can be used to generate and compile the PSpice DMI DLL files
- PSpice Device and System Modeling with C/C++ and SystemC: Provides step-by-step instructions for generating and compiling new SystemC DLL files
PSpice Lite License String Added for PSpice Lite Mode
Before 16.6-2015, there was no option to launch PSpice in Lite mode if you had any valid license. Now you can use the new license string, OrCAD Lite - PSpice, to launch PSpice in the Lite mode, even if you have a valid license:
Note: You cannot switch between the Lite and the licensed version of PSPice in the same session. You have to restart PSpice and select the required option.
