IC-CAP Circuit Modeling Operations

With IC-CAP, every type of characterization operation performed on a single component can also be performed on a circuit. IC-CAP allows easy measurement of circuit characteristics, extraction and optimization of model parameters, and simulation of the circuit's performance. Measurement and simulation operations use the same setup information as single components. Extraction and optimization operations enable more options for methods of obtaining model parameters. These operations can be performed on the circuit as a whole or on any sub-component of the circuit. This is explained in the section, Circuit Parameter Extraction.
