Rubberbanding:
This new
feature allows you to move a set of components without breaking associated
wiring connections. The ALT key acts as a toggle ON/OFF switch to enable
and disable this function.
One-Click
Parameters Access: Now you can access Standard, Monte, Optimize,
Sweep, Parameters, and Tolerance in one easy button click on the main
Simulation Control Dialog box.
Dynamic
HELP for IntuScope5: HELP now includes updated Movie Tutorials,
and web access to the latest documentation.
Smith
Charts: As a Test Designer, ICAP/4 Professional, or RF user,
you can now plot Smith Charts by reading in a Touchstone formatted file.
With data from the twoport.DWG test circuit. Smith Charts may be used
to calculate impedance determination, impedance matching, noise figure
optimization, or stability.
New
ICL Scripts:
Many more ICL scripts and functions were added. These include Expandx,
expandy, expandxAllPlots to let you easily modify your waveform viewing
area. Also Family script to create eye diagrams, and Superfamily script
to combine multiple vectors into a single vector in circles to reduce
presentation clutter. Drawing scripts allow you to easily format waveforms.
New scripts compare Fast Fourier transform data against IEC 61000 Electromagnetic
Interference Specifications (Limits for Harmonic Current Emissions)
for Class A, B, C, and D equipment.
Filter
Library Updated: Over 1500 Laplace transfer functions for
Butterworth, Chebyshev, Bessel and Elliptic filters were added to this
ICAP/4 version. Each filter offers 4 types: Low Pass, High Pass, Band
Pass and Band Stop.
Better
IEEE Standard Conformance: Units
displayed in IntuScope5 were modified to better conform with IEEE standards.
Easily
Produce Presentation Graphs:
Modify x and y-axis legends in IntuScope5 to quickly tailor graphs to
your publication requirements.
Create
Title Blocks in a Snap: Quickly
place a title block on your SpiceNet schematic with the new Borders
and Title Blocks dialog. Just double-click to edit. Several pre-formatted
title blocks -- or build your own.
Open
Drawing Files from Anywhere: When you click on a .DWG file,
from an .html file or any other source, it will open up in the SpiceNet
schematic browser.
Easy
Access to Symbol Editor:
Open the Symbol editor and revise a symbol in a snap with a new right
mouse button feature.
Push
into Subdrawing: This new right mouse button feature lets
you quickly bring up the schematic a subdrawing part is linked to.
Repeat
Feature added to PWL Function Generator: The
code model Pulse Width Linear .dll has been replaced with one which
is up to 500 times faster for use with very large, repeating PWL files.
More than 6 digits to the right of the decimal point can now be read.
Fuse
Models Enhanced:
The 48 models in the fuse library have been updated to run more accurately.
One new fuse model has been added.
Compare
Live Data to Simulation Data Easily:
Read in a text file of data points, for example, from a tester or other
device, to plot in IntuScope5.
BSIM4
Model Updated: A
new 4.1.2 version of BSIM4 has been incorporated in the ICAP/4Windows
software family. Improvements include general clean-up of the code for
more efficient operation. Also, Gate Induced Source Leakage (GISL) was
added to provide a significant improvement in simulation convergence.
Together with GIDL, it makes the gate induced leakage component of the
substrate current symmetric.
New
Templates for Power Supply Designers:
SWITCHMODE power supply templates and models for ON Semiconductor and
Future Electronics were added to ICAP/4Window’s power libraries.
The templates are complete working solutions were only a few parameters
need to be modified to use them within your drawing.
