SIMPLIS Technologies Announces the Release of SIMetrix/SIMPLIS 8.5
SIMPLIS Technologies is pleased to announce that we have released version 8.5 of SIMetrix/SIMPLIS. The major changes and enhancements can be found here.
New Features for the
SIMetrix and SIMPLIS Simulators
Probe Auto-colouring
Fixed probes on the schematic change colour to reflect the colour of the graph curves they create. This eases associating probes with plotted curves.
If the curve is highlighted in the graph window, the colour in the schematic will also reflect the highlighting.
Simulator: SIMetrix and SIMPLIS
Required Version: All versions
Script Language: foreach and foreachdiv Statements
foreach iterates through all the elements in a vector. It is more convenient than using a for loop in most cases.
foreachdiv iterates through the divisions in a multi-division vector. If a single division vector is presented it will loop just once. This provides a convenient method to analyse data from single step and multi-step analyses
Simulator: SIMetrix and SIMPLIS
Required Version: All versions
Parameter Editing Dialog Creator
The dialog creation spreadsheet is now incorporated within the symbol editor. The tool will also allow you to preview the dialog before applying it to your subcomponent.
Since an external program is no longer needed and there is no copying/pasting necessary, the ease and speed of developing a dialog has been greatly increased.
Simulator: SIMetrix and SIMPLIS
Required Version: All versions
Triggered O-Scope Plotting Function
This function will overlay multiple segments of a curve to produce a waveform similar to an oscilloscope trace. This will allow easy comparisons between sections of periodic signals.
Simulator: SIMetrix and SIMPLIS
Required Version: All versions
New Features for the SIMPLIS Simulator
Magnetics Design Module Updates
Along with several major and minor bug fixes and modeling refinements, there are several new features in MDM in the 8.5 release of SIMetrix/SIMPLIS:
7 new device models for IC design have been developed. This includes 3 brand new models and 4 new versions of an existing model.
BSIM-CMG (BSIM common multi gate). Designed for sub 20nm processes using FinFET technology
BSIM-BULK (formerly BSIM6). Designed for analog and RF applications
Diode CMC. A development of the NXP Juncap 2 model with additional recovery characteristics
HiSim HV. 4 new versions: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4
Simulator: SIMetrix
Required Version: Elite
