CIDER is a mixed-level circuit and device simulator.
|
|
CIDER attempts to provide greater simulation accuracy than a stand-alone
|
|
circuit or device simulator can provide.
|
|
CIDER is based on the sequential mixed-level circuit and
|
|
device simulator, CODECS. In common with CODECS, CIDER embeds the circuit
|
|
simulator, SPICE3, which provides circuit simulation capabilities,
|
|
analytical models for semiconductor devices, and an interactive
|
|
user interface. An interface to the captive device simulator, DSIM,
|
|
provides accurate, one- and two-dimensional numerical models
|
|
based on the solution of Poisson's equation, and the electron and hole
|
|
current-continuity equations. The input format of CIDER couples
|
|
SPICE-like circuit descriptions
|
|
to a device description format similar to the one
|
|
used by the PISCES device simulator developed at Stanford University.
|
|
As a result, CIDER should seem reasonably familiar to designers
|
|
already accustomed to both these tools.

SPICE 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.
