saving operating point parameters

Hi all,

using "save N0:oppoint" you can save some info about the operating point of a device.

It there a way to get more parameters using this method, or it is model dependent?

Specifically for BSIM4 I get Ids for example but nothing below that, meaning parameters used to calculate Ids.

Thanks,

Sotiris

    Sotiris,

    You should be able to get something like 77 different parameters (currently) from the operating point output for bsim4. If you look in "spectre -h bsim4" you'll see there is a section labelled "Operating Point Parameters" which lists what you can get. There are similar lists for other models(e.g.psp1020, bsim3v3, vbic - take your pick). 

    If you're asking about internal calculations as part of the model equations, then no - only certain parameters are output. There are also some "output parameters" which may also be obtained (these are things like effective widths and lengths, etc).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
