Same PDK models to check gmoverid simulation in different tools (Cadence vs Cppsim)

Same PDK to confirm the cppsim tool can be used for fast simulation in gmoverid verification.

  • cadence used PDK spectre model with spectre simulator
  • cppsim used PDK hspice model with ngspice simulator

simulation using cppsim+octave fT vs gm/id, Id/w vs gm/id, gain s gm/id

simulation in cadence

conclusion

cppsim+octave can be used successfully and the simulation results matched to cadence simulation.
