Insufficient memory available on simulation using inductor

Wonyoung

Hello,

I'm trying to run a transient simulation on a schematic that includes an inductor. It's not an ideal inductor from the analogLib library, but an inductor included in my TSMC process tech. I get the following message whenever I run a simulation with that inductor included in my schematic (even when I only have one single inductor in the entire schematic). FYI, I'm using IC 5.1.41

Fatal error found by spectre during info `subckts'. Insufficient memory available. Internal error found in spectre during info `subckts'. Please run `getSpectreFiles' or send the netlist, the spectre log file, the behavioral model files, and any other information that can help identify the problem to support@cadence.com. Segmentation fault.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with Cadence or the TSMC PDK. I attached my netlist file with one voltage source and one inductor. I feel the schematic is too simple to use that much memory. Any help in solving this problem is appreciated.

Thanks, Wonyoung

  • Thanks for your quick reply. I'm a student at a university, and they told me a better way is to make a Cadence Online Support account. I couldn't make the account right away because of some university program policy, so I thought I would post the question here in the meantime. I thought it might be a common issue people face.
