sweeping w/L ratio

whlinfei
whlinfei over 16 years ago

Hi all,

 I am new to cadence and I tried to sweep a mosfet w/L ratio under a dc sweep. ( for every w/l , a gate bias dc analysis is run from 0 to Vdd).

However I tried to define my variable as "param" to indicate the number of fingers so that I could change the total width but couldt get the result.

 Can anyone help me with this ? 

I am using vurtuoso schematic to design and vurtuoso analog design environment to simumlate.

    This may depend on your design kit. Some design kits over-use CDF callbacks, which prevent you being able to parameterize certain parameters. See The Dangers of CDF Callbacks (written by me) on sourcelink.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
