Model Components
The IC-CAP model components are shown in the following figure. A model consists of these components:
| • |
Circuit Description of the circuit used to represent the actual device. |
| • |
Model Parameters Values used in simulating the circuit. |
| • |
Model Variables User-defined variables that are global to a model. |
| • |
DUTs Representations of different physical devices or measurement configurations. |
| • |
Macros Combinations of the available menu functions used to create complex operations. |

DUT Variables
- User-defined variables that apply only to a DUT.
Setups
- Define measurements and simulations for a DUT.
Each setup contains:
Inputs
- A definition of the input stimuli.
Outputs
- A definition of the types of responses to monitor.
Transforms
- Specifications for different data manipulations, such as mathematical functions and extractions.
Plots
- Data display, in a variety of formats.
Setup Variables
- User-defined variables that apply only to a setup.
Instrument Options
