The general procedure for analyzing a circuit is to use an editor ( vi, emacs, etc.) to create an
input file, run HSPICE to generate graph and hardcopy data files, and run MetaWaves to view,
customize, and print the resulting graphs. It is usually easier to start with an example input file
(such as those at the end of this handout) and modify it to match the desired circuit. The commands
found in the example input files and summary in this handout are sufficient to perform simple simulations.
For more sophisticated analyses consult the HSPICE USERS MANUAL. |
