ICAP/4 RF Deluxe

Your Prescription for Reduced Complexity

ICAP/4Rx RF Deluxe is an extended version of ICAP/4Rx, including simulation capability for RF frequency design. This powerful system includes everything you need to design and verify all types of board, engineering system and IC-level design. Of course, ICAP/4Rx Power Deluxe includes Intusoft’s time-tested “IsSpice4” analog and mixed-signal simulation kernel, featuring more enhancement than any SPICE kernel on the market for convergence, accuracy, speed and interactive capability. It also includes component and temperature sweeping for quickly generating curve families for powerful what-if analysis. It even has pole/zero analysis for improving design stability. It even has pole/zero analysis for improving design stability.

ICAP/4Rx includes “SpiceNet,” Intusoft’s 5th-generation design entry tool. SpiceNet provides a patented layering and configuration system that enables the creation of different schematic layers (example: power supply, signal processing section, amplification circuitry and final output stage), quick wiring between layers, and “highlighted” visibility of all layers from the composite design. Schematic layers can be saved to create different design configurations for debugging initial design functionality, regression testing, production, military standard, PCB layout, etc. Design changes invoked in one configuration are automatically propagated to all other versions, saving time and optimizing design management. SpiceNet even displays operating point data, waveforms, and user-created artwork and text directly on the schematic at the click of the mouse.

The “IntuScope” waveform viewer and post processor features 150 waveform calculator and signal processing operations, all scripted for optional modification by the user. It also features unique features such as three modes of updating previously viewed signals during repetitive debug runs, plotting of any variable verses another (e.g., gain vs. temperature), and view of multiple simulation run types at the click of the mouse.

High frequency design is readily accommodated with ICAP/4Rx RF Deluxe. It includes features you would expect for RF design such as 2-port analysis, pole-zero analysis and Smith Charts. Add to this a dedicated RF component library of more than 600 devices within the 15,600+ part total. These special devices work with IsSpice4’s enhanced algorithms for RF design. Also included is ICAP/4’s model building tool, “SpiceMod,” which easily creates new models from manufacturers’ datasheet entry and provides test circuits for verifying new model performance.

But this is only the start of a long list of benefits found in ICAP/4Rx RF Deluxe. See if the features listed below clearly make this offering the best choice for your design needs.
