Limited plot range

Bhavsh
Bhavsh over 15 years ago

Hi,

   I am using ic5141 and tried to simulate ADC(4-bit analog to digital converter) in ADE. I opted for transient analysis for 100ms. It simulated successfully but through "direct plot form" or through "calculator" if we plot, it is plotting the respective voltage values only upto 20ms.Beyond 20ms its not showing any result. Are there  any option to go beyond 20ms??

Thank you..

     Hi Andrew,

     I see the same problem and I had posted a topic some time ago. Let me give the details of the my sim and setup.

     The circuit is a very simple comparator. When I run a transient sim for about 20ms or so it plots the output. If I increase the time any more the graph is completely blank. I have seen this issue with other circuits as well. 

    Simulator - Spectre

    Version - 7.1.1.140.isr8 32bit

     Icfb subversion - 5.10.41_USR5.90.69 (32 bit addresses)

    Output format - psf

     The size of the psf directory is 376K.

     Regards,
    Mandar
