HSPICE (from Avant!) offers a more robust, commercial version of SPICE. No free copies here. If interested, contact Avant! This popular version of SPICE, available from Orcad (now Cadence) runs under the PC and Macintosh platforms. An evaluation version, which can handle small circuits with up to 10 transistors, is freely available.
Hspice Software Free Windows 8 Download
Supercopier 2.2.4.6 is available to all software users as a free download for Windows 10 PCs but also without a hitch on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Compatibility with this file transfer software may vary, but will generally run fine under Microsoft Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP on either a 32-bit.
The HSPICE Documentation Set The HSPICE Documentation Set This manual is a part of the HSPICE documentation set, which includes the following manuals: Chapter 7, Library Encryption Describes the Synopsys Library Encryptor and how to use it to protect your intellectual property. Chapter 8, Converter Utility Describes how to convert output.
For example, if the voltage difference between nodes CLOCK and ground (0) transitions through 0.5V the switch, connected between nodes n1 and n2, will go from a short (1 milliohm) to an open (10 Gigaohms).
The Electric VLSI Design Information
Below shows how Electric is setup where the Run Program path is (for example): C:synopsysHspice_A-2008.03-SP1BINhspice.exe
Note that while the Run Program field is not case sensitive the “with args:” field is case sensitive (so use the uppercase names as seen)
Also note the difference between the “with args:” field seen below and what is used with LTspice
Electric outputs netlists with a *.spi extension.
If you get an Exception Caught! when Electric loads simulation data it likely means that you have run out of memory. See number 15 here for how to increase the memory allocated to the JVM
Running HSIM from the command window (Start -> Run -> then type Cmd) in WindowsGarmin keygen.
Ensure the HSPICE model levels are used as indicated above (e.g., BSIM3 is Level=49 instead of Level=8)
Use exact same netlist as used with HSPICE simulations except replace .options post with .print v(*) Level=1
.print v(*) Level=1 saves node voltages from the main, or top level, cell. Level=2 stores node voltages from both the top level cell and the cells directly instanced in the top level cell (Level=3 stores the top three levels of hierarchy, ect.)
HSIM can be run from the command prompt as seen below
The errors can be viewed using a text editor in hsim.log
The simulation output, hsim.fsdb, can be viewed using CosmosScope
See the HSIM manual covering invoking HSIM for additional options
