“High performance, ease of use and affordability have two things in common: “”ICAP/4Windows RF Deluxe”” and “”ICAP/4Windows Power Deluxe.”” This is Intusoft’s advanced analog and mixed-signal simulation solution. ICAP/4Windows Power/RF Delux is an extended version including simulation capability for RF frequency design and also everything you need to design and verify all types of board, engineering system and IC-level design. This powerful system includes everything you need to design and verify all types of board, engineering system and IC-level architecture, plus a large collection of RF simulation models.
ICAP/4Windows Power/RF Deluxe 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 with a click of the mouse. It also includes footprint information for operation with the Bartels AutoEngineer PCB layout and route software.
High frequency design is readily accommodated with ICAP/4Windows 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 21,800+ 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. Library Manager organizes and archives models, including comparison and search capability.
ICAP/4Windows Power/RF Deluxe features a dedicated Power library of more than 1000 devices, increasing its already robust model count to 22,000+ parts. These work with the IsSpice4 kernel’s enhanced algorithms tailored for advanced power design. Library elements run the course, featuring new hysteretic average models; General Feedback Theorem (GFT) models for measuring open loop response without breaking a closed design loop; 30 power supply schematic templates with various ICs and custom power components for SMPS design; and a gamut of many other ready-to-use power devices. The package also provides SpiceMod, ICAP/4’s model building tool that easily creates and tests new models from manufacturers’ datasheet entry. And Library Manager organizes and archives models, including comparison and search capability.
With today’s demanding analog and mixed-signal design, simulation power, ease of use and affordability lie at the apex of tool requirements, as provided by ICAP/4Windows Power Deluxe. But this is only the start of a long list of benefits found in this offering. See if the features listed below clearly make this offering the best choice for your design needs.
