About P2D Simulation

The P2D simulator can be used to generate a .p2d file, which contains S-parameters that can be used to develop component models. A P2D simulation generates power-dependent S-parameters, which can then be used in a behavioral model for faster, system-level simulations. The resulting .p2d file can be accessed by components such as AmplifierP2D (System-Data Models palette) by selecting P2D Filename as the Parameter Entry Mode for the P2DFile= parameter.

Refer to the following topics for details on P2D simulation:

• Performing a P2D Simulation describes the minimum setup requirements for generating a . p2d file from a simulation.

• Example of P2D Simulation is a detailed setup for generating a . p2d file from a simulation.

• Using the P2D file describes how to use the file with a component that accepts file-based parameters.

• Using Terms in a P2D Simulation describes how to terminate the circuit with Term components instead of sources and loads.

• The topic "P2D Format" in the chapter "Working with Data Files" in the Using Circuit Simulators documentation describes how to write a . p2d file using a text editor. This is as an alternate method of creating a . p2d .

  Note You must have the LSSP license to run the simulator. You can build the examples in this chapter without the license, but you will not be able to simulate them.
