Information

• MCAST reads device models written in high-level language VHDL-AMS, automatically generates simulator device codes in C, and links them directly with circuit simulator SPICE3.
• Devices read by MCAST can be transistors (such as EKV, BSIM, BSIM-SOI) or multiphysics blocks (thermal, optical, etc.).
• MCAST yields the same simulation results and comparable speed as the model code implemented manually in SPICE3-specific C code.
• MCAST also acts as a VHDL-AMS compiler and simulator, with SPICE3 acting as a simulation engine
