ADE(GUI) DC analysis query

eppramod
Hello experts, I have one basic query regarding dc sweep analysis done using ADE (GUI mode). The query is whether we can give an expression in the start-stop section of the sweep range? The expression will evaluate to a numerical value.I want to change the range based on the numerical value of another variable. Thanks, Pramod

  •  Hi Pramod,

     at least for AC analysis you can use variables in this way: VAR("yourvariable"). 

     Best regards,
    Dirk

  • Dirk,

    That's true if you are using IC61. If using IC5141, you cannot use the VAR()
    syntax, and these particular fields do no accept non-numerical values.

    So the workaround would be to specify the analysis via an include file. Put the
    spectre statement in a text file, with something like this:

    dc dc param=temp start=startVal stop=stopVal step=stepVal annotate=status

    Add it to your "Model Libraries" (as good as anywhere else) and then define
    design variables startVal, stopVal, and stepVal.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Hi Andrew, Thanks for the reply.Yes I am using IC5141 version. Yes,I tried VAR() and it didn't help. Now i will try the workaround you have suggested. Thanks for the help. Pramod
