save all device data in dc sweep

Josef
Josef over 12 years ago

 Hi *,

i'd like to perform a dc sweep and with the opend results I need to access the device data directly, e.g. by typing something like vgs("M1") without using the netname connected to the gate and source port of the M1 device.  

 I should be a kind of save opPoint value but not a scalar but a vector.

 searched for a while in this forum but didn't get a proper answer, yet.

 thanks in advance

josef

     Hi Josef,

     Here we go:

     

    Create one additional file to include with your simulations and fill it with some lines like

     

    save DUT.MP0:oppoint

    save DUT.Q0:oppoint

     

    and so on ... of course you have to adjust the hierarchy information andthe devicenames

     

    If you enter "spectre -h save" you will get some extra info on whats possible with

    wildcards, filtering options and so on. However this scheme does not work for every PDK.

    I just had one case where the probing was broken :( I'm waiting for an updated PDK right now ...

     

    Best Regards
