Anyone done trim-and-sim with Monte Carlo?

swdesigner

Is it possible to run a monte-carlo simulation with two extractions per sample?

The tool generates a set of values for the variables (process/mismatch) per sample. The question is, can I, for this sample, take a measurement, based on that measurement, set some user-variables to non-default values and run another sim to take another measurment (maybe at a different temperature)?

This is what happens in the real world on silicon - you're going to trim your circuit at room-temp and look at it at different temps regardless of what the process/mismatch are for a particular unit.

How difficult is this? Can we add such capability soon?

 

Thanks

  •  You can do this with spectreMDL.  The tutorial is the best thing to look at.  You can set up two simulations and set the parameters for the second simulation based on the results of the first simulation.  You can set this up to run over temp.  There are examples of this in the spectreMDL tutorial.  This should let you do what you need.
