Piero Belforte These comparative DWV plots report the behavior

of errors on a 100us (50K oscillations) time window after oscillator's

start up, for various chices of the simulation time steps (SWAN mode).

February 5 at 2:38pm · Edited · Like

Piero Belforte Increasing the time step over 1ps the peak-to-

peak max amplitude of the error increases. At 100fs time step,

70us after start up the error increases an gets larger than 1ps step

value (49uVpp max at t=0). This effect can be due to rounding errors

effects due to huge number of calculated samples when working at

100fs step (1 BILLION SAMPLES on a 100us window).

Piero Belforte It easy to notice that after 20us of free

oscillations (1000 oscillations) the Spice error is about 1Vpp

because the oscillator signal has shifted accumulating a 1/4 period

delay (about 5ns).

Piero Belforte In SWAN mode, on the contrary, working at 1ps

Piero Belforte In Spice mode, the zero crossing error is about

18uV after 1us (max allowable due to sim time), abut 50X SWAN

mode (on a time point 50X larger).

February 4 at 4:29pm · Edited · Like

Piero Belforte So even in this case the oustanding performance

of SWAN over Spice is demonstrated: at least 50X faster AND 50X

more accurate, that gives a 2500 FIGURE of MERIT SWAN/Spice even

in this extremely simple case.

Piero Belforte As known, Spice can have problems dealing with s-

plane transfer functions due to variable time-step. SWAN mode

doesn't suffer of these issues because it works at FIXED time -step.

Congratulations Spicy, we now hit 200 FB likes! Thanks everyone

... remember if you like Spicy, please help by posting a good

review on itunes .. it helps us support development of the app ..

we have only a handful of reviews and most of the time from the

few who wanted something else and were not happy ... but 200

FB likes means maybe we can get 200 good reviews on itunes!

That would help us out a lot ... just go to itunes, search

ischematics.com, and you can review the free, or full or now

swan versions, which ever you like .. (or review all if you like) ...

EFFECTS of TDR PULSE RISE TIME on RESPONSE.

Like · Comment · Share

Krar ALturfe likes this.

View 1 more comment

Piero Belforte With the shortest rise time (10ps 20%-90%,

equivalent bandwith 35 Ghz)) we get the maximum resolution. The

negative peaks due to lumped capacitances are clearly visible and

reach a minimum on impedance levels.

January 25 at 12:19pm · Like

Piero Belforte Slowing down the TDR pulse, the peaks due to

lumped loads decrease and disapppear with a 500ps rise time

(700Mhz analog bandwith). In this last situation the uniformelyy cap-

loaded segment behaves like a uniform TL of about 41ohm impedance

and a total 2.46 ns delay. The extra 460ps round-trip delay is the

effect of lumped caps on the pure 2ns delay of the unloaded line.
