How does EMtoSPICE compare to other similar tools?
Most of the currently existing tools have one or more of the following characteristics. • Inability to maintain the accuracy of SPICE models over broadband frequencies. • Further degradation of accuracy for complex-shaped curves, for example, the curves that contain many peaks, deeps, etc. • Frequent generation of non-convegent models in time domain due to lack of stability and passivity algorithms. • No immediate access to the accuracy of extracted models. User has no knowledge of accuracy before generating a model. • Extracted models may contain extreme values that are not acceptable to SPICE. EMtoSPICE incorporates breakthrough technologies that allows the following distinguished properties. • Generation of highly accurate models over broadband frequencies. • Generation of compact models for fast simulation. • Immediate access to accuracy via plots and RMS errors. • Automatic search for the optimum order within the user-specified range. • Selective refinement of accuracy for each S-
