Abstract :
STADIUM is a software technology which drives simulators in a statistical mode and extracts statistical results from the simulation output. It allows a novice in statistics to apply design of experiments (DoE) and other statistical analysis techniques to computer simulation. Several versions of STADIUM currently exist, with each one tuned to a specific application. STADIUM CKT is a software system which drives Microsim´s PSpice circuit simulator in a statistical mode using DoE and extracts statistical circuit results from the PSpice output. It requires a PC environment with Windows to realize statistical models for integrated circuits and components. The STADIUM technology has been developed at the Florida Institute of Technology with funding from SRC and SEMATECH. The university has licensed STADIUM to a start-up company named AET, Inc. The mission of AET is to commercialize STADIUM for various applications. AET is turning STADIUM CKT into a product for the PSpice circuit design application
