Cadence PSpice Overview

What is Cadence PSpice?

The CadenceAllegroPSpiceSimulator provides complete pre- and post-layout testing for analog and mixed-signal designs with powerful simulation, debugging, design, and analysis utilities. The Allegro PSpice Simulator includes Cadence PSpice technology at the core, providing fast and accurate simulations. This advanced analysis package includes utilities for sensitivity analysis, goal-based multi-parameter optimization, component stress and reliability analysis, and Monte Carlo analysis for yield estimation. The parametric plotter analyzes interdependence among parameters and converts simulation data into meaningful results. When combined with Allegro Design Entry HDL, the schematics drawn in Allegro PSpice Simulator can also drive PCB layout, significantly reducing design time and eliminating redrawing errors. It includes a large library of known models and behavioral modeling techniques that make refining the analog/digital interface a straightforward task.

What do you like best about Cadence PSpice?

I like to have the simulation and the schematic design in the same place, as basically both are the same. It makes life easy and saves time. Realt time simulations are really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cadence PSpice?

nothing comes to mind that bothers me much. There are occasional hang-ups but have to force close it and open it again to get it going, but that is not frequent though. probably once in a month or two. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cadence PSpice solving and how is that benefiting you?

i used to have seperate pspice software, now having integrated save design time. Also, i feel more confident with my designs now as nothing gets lost during the transfer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
