Temperature dependent current sources

archive
archive over 15 years ago
I would like to know if it is possible to set values to DC current sources that depend on temperature (eg I=1+0.05Temp where Temp is temperature) in simulations. Thank you in advance, -Vijay

    Hi Vijay,

    Yes, use the parameter "temp" in your expression. For example:

    I1 (src 0) isource dc=(1+0.05*temp)*1m

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew, Thank you. I take it that temp is in Celsius? Is there a list of other parameters that can be used in simulations? Best regards, -Vijay

    Hi Vijay,

    Yes, it's in celsius (this is covered in the documentation, I'm sure, because  the temperature setting is in Celsius). See "spectre -h parameters", "spectre -h expressions" and "spectre -h options" as a quick and easy way to get to this information (or use cdnshelp to look at the fuller documentation).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
