Abstract

This paper presents a new toolbox, dedicated to image sensors designers. It permits fast analog simulations with a novel parametric simulation method. Image sensor matrixes are composed of millions of pixels. Such architectures are long to simulate, if not impossible; and input /output data management is complex. A graphical toolbox has been developed in Cadence Analog Design Environment (ADE) to overcome these problems. That toolbox has been completely written in Cadence SKILL language. It permits to manipulate images as input, launch parametric analysis on a single pixel, and interpolate results for all pixels in the matrix. It then automatically generates images at output, in order to check the quality of microelectronic design. Low level aspects can also be analyzed at system (image) level.
