Spice Simulation
The Altium Designer suite includes a sophisticated circuit simulation engine which, when used with care, can provide essential early analysis of even complex mixed signal electronics. This course is designed to provide an introduction to the operation and setup of the simulation system supplied with the Altium Designer software.
We shall lead you through a series of structured examples and tutorials highlighting the capabilities of the system and the common misunderstandings and pitfalls.These tutorials provide an invaluable start for anyone new to the Altium Designer Simulation system.
Delegates may reasonably expect to understand the key concepts, operation and philosophies of the software and aided by the hands-on exercises gain the skills necessary to perform accurate “real-world” simulations of analogue, digital and mixed-signal circuits.
Further work may be required to master certain tasks and the structure of the exercises should help delegates to revisit key topics in their own time if required. The nature of the subject area involves electronics theory but it is not intended for this to be an electronics course. As such, we shall not be covering the detail of each of the simulation analyses. Rather, we shall look at how to operate the software and leave the electronics to you!
