PSS, PNOISE and Transient Noise

Hi all,

 I have several questions which i will describe by topics. All the circuit design is made in Candence using Spectre.

 1 - As transient noise introduces noise in the transient simulation, I export the data to Matlab to perform the Jitter (RMS and Peak-to-Peak) calculations. How can I do this in Cadence ?

2 - How can be compared the results obtained from MatLab (from Cadence exported data), and those obtained by cadence ?

3 - What kind of noise is introduced by transient noise ? Can this noise be upconverted into phase noise ?

4 - Calculating phase-noise using PSS+PNOISE, if done with transient noise on, will affect the phase noise analysis result ? Should I disable the transient noise, when performing PSS and PNOISE ?

 5 - I am designing a VCXO for a PLL. The requirements are: frequency - 80 MHz, tunning range - +- 8 kHz, cload 15 pF. To simulate this circuit with transient noise I have used the following parameters:

Noise Fmax 1e9
Noise Fmin 10k
Noise Seed 1
Noise scale 1
Noise Tmin 4u

Is this correct ?

Thanks To all.

Best regards,

Pedro
