+
+ <sect1 id="Spice">
+ <title><emphasis>Spice</emphasis>: circuit simulation program</title>
+ <para><emphasis>Spice</emphasis> is a general-purpose circuit simulation program for nonlinear DC, nonlinear
+ transient, and linear AC analyses. Circuits may contain resistors, capacitors, inductors,
+ mutual inductors, independent voltage and current sources, four types of dependent sources,
+ lossless and lossy transmission lines (two separate implementations), switches, uniform
+ distributed RC lines, and the five most common semiconductor devices: diodes, BJTs, JFETs,
+ MESFETs, and MOSFETs.</para>
+ <para><emphasis>Spice</emphasis> has built-in models for the semiconductor devices, and the user need specify
+ only the pertinent model parameter values. The model for the BJT is based on the
+ integral-charge model of Gummel and Poon; however, if the Gummel-Poon parameters are not
+ specified, the model reduces to the simpler Ebers-Moll model. In either case, charge-storage
+ effects, ohmic resistances, and a current-dependent output conductance may be included. The
+ diode model can be used for either junction diodes or Schottky barrier diodes. The JFET model
+ is based on the FET model of Shichman and Hodges. Six MOSFET models are implemented: MOS1
+ is described by a square-law I-V characteristic, MOS2 [1] is an analytical model, while MOS3
+ [1] is a semi-empirical model; MOS6 [2] is a simple analytic model accurate in the short-channel
+ region; MOS4 [3, 4] and MOS5 [5] are the BSIM (Berkeley Short-channel IGFET Model) and BSIM2.
+ MOS2, MOS3, and MOS4 include second-order effects such as channel-length modulation,
+ subthreshold conduction, scattering-limited velocity saturation, small-size effects, and
+ charge-controlled capacitances.</para>
+ <sect2 id="analyses-types">
+ <title>Types of analyses</title>
+
+ <sect3 id="dc-analyses">
+ <title>DC analyses</title>
+ <para>The DC analysis portion of <emphasis>Spice</emphasis> (.DC) determines the DC operating point of the circuit
+ with inductors shorted and capacitors opened. The DC analysis options are specified on the .DC,
+ .TF, and .OP control lines. A DC analysis is automatically performed prior to a transient analysis
+ to determine the transient initial conditions, and prior to an AC small-signal analysis to determine
+ the linearized, small-signal models for nonlinear devices. If requested, the DC small-signal value
+ of a transfer function (ratio of output variable to input source), input resistance, and output
+ resistance is also computed as a part of the dc solution. The DC analysis can also be used to
+ generate dc transfer curves: a specified independent voltage or current source is stepped over a
+ user-specified range and the DC output variables are stored for each sequential source value.
+ </para>
+ </sect3>
+
+ <sect3 id="ac-analyses">
+ <title>AC Small-Signal Analysis</title>
+ <para>The AC small-signal portion of <emphasis>Spice</emphasis> (.AC) computes the AC output variables as a function of
+ frequency. The program first computes the DC operating point of the circuit and determines linearized,
+ small-signal models for all of the nonlinear devices in the circuit. The resultant linear circuit is
+ then analyzed over a user-specified range of frequencies. The desired output of an AC small-signal
+ analysis is usually a transfer function (voltage gain, trans-impedance, etc). If the circuit has only
+ one AC input, it is convenient to set that input to unity and zero phase, so that output variables
+ have the same value as the transfer function of the output variable with respect to the input.</para>
+ </sect3>
+
+ <sect3 id="transient-analysis">
+ <title>Transient analysis</title>
+ <para>The transient analysis portion of <emphasis>Spice</emphasis> (.TRAN) computes the transient output variables as a
+ function of time over a user-specified time interval. The initial conditions are automatically
+ determined by a DC analysis. All sources which are not time dependent (for example, power supplies)
+ are set to their DC value. The transient time interval is specified on a .TRAN control line. </para>
+ </sect3>
+
+ <sect3 id="pole-zero-analysis">
+ <title>Pole-Zero Analysis</title>
+ <para>The pole-zero analysis portion of <emphasis>Spice</emphasis> (.PZ) computes the poles and/or zeros in the small-signal
+ AC transfer function. The program first computes the DC operating point and then determines the linearized,
+ small-signal models for all the nonlinear devices in the circuit. This circuit is then used to find the
+ poles and zeros of the transfer function.
+ </para>
+ <para>Two types of transfer functions are allowed: one of the form (output voltage)/(input voltage) and
+ the other of the form (output voltage)/(input current). These two types of transfer functions cover all
+ the cases and one can find the poles/zeros of functions like input/output impedance and voltage gain.
+ The input and output ports are specified as two pairs of nodes.
+ </para>
+ <para>The pole-zero analysis works with resistors, capacitors, inductors, linear-controlled sources,
+ independent sources, BJTs, MOSFETs, JFETs and diodes. Transmission lines are not supported.
+ </para>
+ <para>The method used in the analysis is a sub-optimal numerical search. For large circuits it may
+ take a considerable time or fail to find all poles and zeros. For some circuits, the method becomes
+ "lost" and finds an excessive number of poles or zeros.
+ </para>
+ </sect3>
+
+ <sect3 id="small-signal-distorsion-signal">
+ <title>Small-Signal Distortion Analysis</title>
+ <para>The distortion analysis portion of <emphasis>Spice</emphasis> (.DISTO) computes steady-state harmonic and
+ intermodulation products for small input signal magnitudes. If signals of a single frequency are
+ specified as the input to the circuit, the complex values of the second and third harmonics are
+ determined at every point in the circuit. If there are signals of two frequencies input to the circuit,
+ the analysis finds out the complex values of the circuit variables at the sum and difference of the input
+ frequencies, and at the difference of the smaller frequency from the second harmonic of the larger
+ frequency. </para>
+ <para>Distortion analysis is supported for the following nonlinear devices: diodes (DIO), BJT, JFET,
+ MOSFETs (levels 1, 2, 3, 4/BSIM1, 5/BSIM2, and 6) and MESFETS. All linear devices are automatically
+ supported by distortion analysis. If there are switches present in the circuit, the analysis continues
+ to be accurate provided the switches do not change state under the small excitations used for distortion
+ calculations. </para>
+ </sect3>
+
+ <sect3 id="sensistivity-analysis">
+ <title>Sensitivity Analysis</title>
+ <para><emphasis>Spice</emphasis> will calculate (.SENS) either the DC operating-point sensitivity or the AC small-signal
+ sensitivity of an output variable with respect to all circuit variables, including model parameters.
+ <emphasis>Spice</emphasis> calculates the difference in an output variable (either a node voltage or a branch current)
+ by perturbing each parameter of each device independently. Since the method is a numerical approximation,
+ the results may demonstrate second order affects in highly sensitive parameters, or may fail to show very
+ low but non-zero sensitivity. Further, since each variable is perturb by a small fraction of its value,
+ zero-valued parameters are not analyized (this has the benefit of reducing what is usually a very large
+ amount of data). </para>
+ </sect3>
+
+ <sect3 id="noise-analysis">
+ <title>Noise Analysis</title>
+ <para>The noise analysis portion of <emphasis>Spice</emphasis> (.NOISE) does analysis device-generated noise for the given
+ circuit. When provided with an input source and an output port, the analysis calculates the noise
+ contributions of each device (and each noise generator within the device) to the output port voltage.
+ It also calculates the input noise to the circuit, equivalent to the output noise referred to the specified
+ input source. This is done for every frequency point in a specified range - the calculated value of the noise
+ corresponds to the spectral density of the circuit variable viewed as a stationary gaussian stochastic
+ process. </para>
+ <para>After calculating the spectral densities, noise analysis integrates these values over the specified
+ frequency range to arrive at the total noise voltage/current (over this frequency range). This calculated
+ value corresponds to the variance of the circuit variable viewed as a stationary gaussian process.
+ </para>
+ </sect3>
+ </sect2>
+
+ <sect2 id="temperatures-analysis">
+ <title>Analyses at different temperatures</title>
+ <para>All input data for <emphasis>Spice</emphasis> is assumed to have been measured at a nominal temperature of 27°C, which
+ can be changed by use of the TNOM parameter on the .OPTIONS control line. This value can further be
+ overridden for any device which models temperature effects by specifying the TNOM parameter on the model
+ itself. The circuit simulation is performed at a temperature of 27°C, unless overridden by a TEMP parameter
+ on the .OPTIONS control line. Individual instances may further override the circuit temperature through
+ the specification of a TEMP parameter on the instance.
+ </para>
+ <para>Temperature appears explicitly in the exponential terms of the BJT and diode model paras. In
+ addition, saturation currents have a built-in temperature dependence. The temperature dependence of the

+ Oregano is a tool for schematic capture and simulation
+ of electronic circuits. It simplifes design of simple circuits
+ by letting the user draw the circuit and then simulate its
+ electrical characteristics.
+
+ This document is mostly meant to be an introduction
+ for someone who already is familiar with circuit simulation
+ and wants to try out Oregano.

+ Oregano est à la fois un logiciel de saisie de schéma
+ éléctrique et un outil de simulation. Dans son utilisation,
+ il simplifie la conception de cicuit éléctrique simple en
+ laissant l'utilisateur passer facilement de la saisie du
+ schéma à la simulation.
+
+ Ce document ne prétend être qu'une introduction à la simulation
+ éléctrique pour celui qui est déjà familier à ce genre de pratique.
