Spiral Inductor
Assistant for Sonnet
Spiral Inductor Assistant for
Sonnet is an add-on tool for Sonnet Professional,
Based on a pre-defined
technology template file, the user only needs to define a few parameters
to get a fully functional simulation model of the inductor. The simulation
model can be opened in the Sonnet Professional editor and analyzed with a
few mouse clicks, to obtain key parameters like inductance, Q factor,
series resistance and substrate parasitics. With the appropriate Sonnet
options, a broad band SPICE model can be extracted. A Sonnet
equation file is included to plot typical RFIC inductor parameters in the
Sonnet data display.
The Lite version of Spiral
Inductor Assistant for Sonnet is limited to single ended inductors and is
only available for Windows. The Professional version does also support
differential (symmetrical) inductors and is available for Windows and
Linux platforms. |

Key Features
 | Generate layouts for various single ended and
differential inductor geometries |
 | Single or multiple parallel layer(s) for spiral and
underpass/overpass |
 | Estimated inductance read-out while geometry
parameters are changed |
 | Read in technology information from existing Sonnet
simulation models |
 | Write a full, complete Sonnet simulation model for
accurate EM verification of the inductor, ready for immediate analysis |
 | Full wave EM analysis in Sonnet Professional provides
accurate, calibrated S-parameters (Sonnet Professional license
required) |
 | Plot L, Q, series resistance, substrate resistance
and capacitance from the Sonnet results (Sonnet license required) |
 | Extract a broad band SPICE model for Spectre and
other time domain simulators for the inductor (Sonnet license required) |
 | Professional version available for Windows and Linux
platforms (Q II/2007) |
The free Lite version of Spiral
Inductor Assistant for Sonnet is limited to single ended inductors and is
only available for Windows.
The Professional version does also support
differential (symmetrical) inductors and is available for Windows and
Linux platforms. Below, you will find a time limited evaluation version.
