Advanced Analysis' four important capabilities:
sensitivity analysis, optimization, yield analysis
(Monte Carlo), and stress analysis (Smoke)
address design complexity as well as price,
performance, and quality requirements of cir-
cuit design.
Smoke warns of component stress due to power • Plotting measurement results in Probe UI
