Tanner Tools
Tanner EDA is a suite of tools for the
design of integrated circuits.
Tanner EDA is mainly used to analyze
circuits at switch level & gate level.
These are tool used to
enter schematics
perform SPICE simulations
do physical design (i.e., chip layout)
perform design rule checks (DRC) and
layout versus schematic (LVS) checks.

Tanner EDA Design Tools
S-edit - a schematic capture tool

T-SPICE - the SPICE simulation engine

integrated with S-edit

L-edit - physical design tool

W-edit - waveform formatting

. Tanner EDA
S-EDIT
S-Edit is a powerful design capture & entry
tool that can generate netlists directly
usable in T-Spice simulations.
Provides an integrated environment for
editing circuits, setting up and running
simulations and probing the results.
It also provides the ability to perform SPICE
simulations of the circuit
These circuits that can be driven forward
into a physical layout.

. Tanner EDA
L-EDIT
L-edit refers to Layout EDITor
Flexible to do micromachining design, PCB
layout, and other CAD work.
L-Edit/DRC -it indentifies any design faults

(widths, spacing, overlaps)

L-Edit/Extract- generates a circuit

"netlist" , which is used for SPICE

simulation

. Tanner EDA
W-EDIT
Not just a waveform viewer but a robust
analysis tool

Built-in measurements like max, min,

average, intersect, rms, over/undershoot,
amplitude, error, crossing, delay,
frequency, rise/fall time, settling time, duty
cycle, slew rate, etc.

Easy measurements by selecting traces &

applying options.

. Tanner EDA
T-SPICE
It is a complete design capture and
simulation solution that provides accuracy.
The role of T-Spice is to help design and
verify a circuits operation.
T-Spice simulation results allow circuit
designers to verify and fine-tune designs
before submitting them for fabrication.
Performs fast, accurate simulations for
analog and mixed-signal IC designs and
fully supports foundry models for reliable
and accurate simulations.

. Tanner EDA
T-SPICE vs SPICE
T-Spice uses an extended version of the
SPICE, compatible with all industry-
standard SPICE simulation programs.

Speed: T-Spice provides highly optimized

code for evaluating device.
It also provides the option of table-base
transistor model evaluation which yields
dramatic increase simulation speed

Convergence: TSpice uses advanced
mathematical methods to achieve superior
numerical stability as in Spice.
Accuracy: T-Spice uses very accurate numerical
methods and charge conservation to achieve
superior simulation accuracy.
Macro-modeling: It supports black box macro
devices
External model interface: It allows custom
device models using C or C++.
The analysis results for voltages, currents,
charges, and power can be written to single or
multiple files.

Types of analysis
DC Operating Point Analysis

DC Transfer Analysis

Transient Analysis

AC Analysis

. Tanner EDA
Continued..,
DC operating point analysis finds the
circuits steady-state condition.

DC Transfer Analysis is used to study the

voltage or current at a set of points in a
circuit as a function of the voltage or
current at another set of points. This is
done by sweeping the source variables.

. Tanner EDA
Continued..,
AC Analysis characterizes the circuits
behavior dependence on small signal input
frequency.

Transient Analysis provides information on

how circuit elements vary with time.

Power up mode: For circuits without DC steady

state (difficult to specify their initial state), the
power up option of the .tran command. It sets
entire circuit to zero for time equal to 0.
