Monte-Carlo analysis vs phase-margin or gain-margin
It's my understanding that phase and gain margins are used to see how much margin there is for the stability of a circuit. In other words, how much gain or phase would need to change in order to make ...

Monte Carlo Analysis in LTspice: Gaussian or Uniform distribution for the tolerance of resistors?
I am running 1000 simulations in LTspice to do Monte Carlo Analysis of the output voltage signal on a circuit with 3% tolerance resistors.
Firstly, does LTspice assume the resistors' values are ...

Integrated Circuit design: Comparing the results given by corner analysis and Monte Carlo analysis
In IC design, corner analysis is performed to study the operation of the ICs under extreme conditions and Monte Carlo analysis is performed to ensure the mismatch is within the tolerance.
However, can ...

LTspice Monte Carlo with different model libraries
I'm trying to figure out how to do my first Monte Carlo analysis in LTspice. I have a very simple schematic that includes the SPICE model for PN 74LVC3G17DC (vendor link).
The distribution from the ...

Monte Carlo Simulation In Python instead of HSPICE
Suppose I have a resistor and I want to simulate process variation on it.
When I was reading online, I noticed that Monte Carlo simulation is used for this purpose. I also noticed that HSPICE has ...
