Specifying Inputs and Outputs

When running a simulation, IC-CAP builds the simulation input deck using the circuit description and the input and output specifications. The circuit description provides all of the model information. The input and output specifications provide the input stimuli and requested output data, as well as the information needed to determine the type of simulation being performed.

Specifying inputs and outputs is independent of the type of simulation being performed. When specifying input for a simulation, you enter the sweep mode in the Mode field of the Input table, and the node connections. The input fields change, depending on the type of mode specified. For details, refer to Simulation Types.
