  SPICE Compatible EDA Vendor Sites

  
  
  

• Cadence Design Professional stuff for people making their living with IC design,.Only good with a fast UNIX workstation. SpectreRF is capable of some limited non-linear block simulation.
  
  
  
• Mentor Graphics Professional stuff for people making their living with IC design, . Like Cadence, only good with the most expensive workstation, since the software is sometimes more expensive than the designer using it. Moreover, Mentor is not so suitable for the Analog/RF IC designer.
  
  
  
• Tanner Research Tspice and other tools (L-edit) for the IC designer.
  
  
  
• SIMetrix -Newbury Technology- Analog Spice simulator with schematic entry. It also features a full BASIC-like scripting language allowing the automation of multiple simulations and customized analysis of simulation results.
  
  
  
• MyCAD MySpice, a analog mode mode Spice.
  
  
  
• Intusoft ICAP/4, mixed mode simulator with schematic entry.
  
  
  
• OrCAD/Microsim Pspice, mixed mode simulator with schematic entry and PCB layout. Version 9 schematic entry (OrCAD) is a big step back.
  
  
  
• Penzar Development Topspice (a excellent mixed mode simulator, smith-chart plotting is included !)
  
  
  
• Electronics Workbench Multisim amixed mode simulator with a RF module for linear RF goodies like Smirth Charts with gain circles etc.
  
  RF Design Tools

  
  
  

• Spur Chart Calculator: Useful for defining the specifications of RF filters.
  
  
  
• Cascaded Block Analysis: Good tool for analyzing a cascade of blocks. Only runs on UNIX
  
  
  
• ANADIGICS Receiver Model Tool: A demonstration tool for receiver block analysis. Adding or deleting blocks is not possible.
  
  
  
• Spectrum Allocation Chart: At first glance it looks like a great chart, but it really doesn't give you much needed information.

  RF Design Tools EDA vendor sites

  
  
  

• Hewlett Packard HP-ADS Market leader. Excellent RF simulator. Good for the system designer or the designer making PCB boards with soldered components. clumsy for the IC designer.
  
  
  
• APLAC Excellent University simulator from finland. Block level and schematic level are not fully integrated. Now commercial with the Nokia tool for schematic entry. Too bad that it is still a multi k$ tool.
  
  
  
• Ansoft The Serenade Design Environment (from Compact Software), a multi PC-based tool for RF designers.
  
  
  
• AWR Microwave office 30 days demo available. Look and feel of HP-ADS.
