About Observing the Transposed Wave Family Plots in Monte Carlo Sim

 Hello,

I am using ADE 5.10.41.

My purpose is to make a Monte Carlo simulation of an inverter and plot the DC Input-Output Voltage transfer characteristic. Also, I would like to plot the transposed (i.e. y vs x plotted) wave to see the butterfly curves under process variations and device mismatch so that I can observe the noise margin of the inverter (biggest square criteria).

For this I used two different functions that I found on the net which are

- abChangeXAxis.il

- abTransposeXY.il

For a single DC run, I can get the outputs (wave) and plot them as I expected. However, when I make a Monte Carlo simulations by checking save data between runs to allow family plots I only see one sample of the transposed transfer characteristics.However, I would like to see all samples of waves of both in-out and transposed in-out transfer characteristics on the same x-y axis. (To see them on the same plot is another problem by the way)

Could you please help me?

I also attached an image to be more clear.

 

Best regards,

Can Baltaci

    Dear Andrew,

     

    Thanks for your reply.

     I am writing my output expressions below with their explanations:

    In =  VS("/V_in") ;     V_in is a net name.

    Out = VS("/V_out") ;     V_out is a net name.

    curve1 = abTransposeXY(Out)

    curve2= abChangeXAxis(In Out)

    curve1 and curve2 are the curves that I would like to see each sample after Monte Carlo sim. I hope these are the necessary info that you need.

    Best regards,

    Can
