Running AC analysis after certain time of transient analysis

RFStuff
RFStuff over 12 years ago

 Dear All,

One can run DC simulation at a particular instant of transient analysis.

However, is it possible for the same for AC analysis ?

In other words, I actulally want  as follows:-

I want to run transient for 10 us after which the circuit enters into certain state.

At this point I want to start AC analyis

Is it possible and how it can be achieved ?

Could anybody please tell.

Kind Regards,

    I'm sure this must be in the documentation somewhere or even on this forum or on support.cadence.com and a search for "acnames" would probably have found it (I didn't try, but I'd be surprised if it's not somewhere)

    Anyway, fill out the ac analysis form as usual, and then that definition will be used during the transient (ADE netlists the instance of the ac analysis as being called ac too), and it's the instance name of the analysis you are referring to in the acnames parameter.

    See  also "spectre -h tran"

    BTW, spectre doesn't normally use ".ac" since that is the archaic SPICE syntax rather than spectre's own more regular syntax.

    Regards,

    Andrew
