 Hi,
I am doing a transient analysis for around 100us to check for a PLL Design and after 640ns im getting an error message:
Error found by spectre at time = 639.8ns during transient analysis 'tran'
ERROR (SPECTRE-7031) : SST@ Error: Input/output error.

    It might be that the disk filled up, or it might be a bug in the SST2 output from the simulator. Assuming you're using a recent MMSIM version, I'd suggest reporting it to customer support at http://support.cadence.com but you can probably  workaround it by setting the output format to psfbin or psfxl on Save->Options (near the bottom of the form). If that's not there, use:

    envSetVal("spectre.outputs" "simOutputFormat" 'string "psfbin")

    In the CIW before starting ADE (can go in the .cdsinit too)

    Regards,

    Andrew.

     Hi Andrew,

    Thank you so much for the instant reply. Yes, indeed it was due to disk space. I deleted all the .psf files which gave me lots of free space. thanks for your reply
