freq_meter component in ahdlLib

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Dear all,
 
I'm using freq_meter component from ahdlLib to calculate instantaneous frequency of an oscillator. While doing Spectre simulation, I'm getting the error as
 
==========================================================
Error found by spectre at time = 20.6089 ns during transient analysis `tran'.
    Signal FF(FREQ_OUT) = 2.18688 GHz exceeds the blowup limit for the quantity
       `FF' which is (1 GHz). It is likely that the circuit is unstable. If
       you really want signals this large, set the `blowup' parameter of this
       quantity to a larger value.
==========================================================
 
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

    My practice is to make a local library for the modified elements from bmslib.. and any new ones I create..
    so my first step in making a mod is to copy from bmslib to my local (corporate) lib and make the changes..
    so if they instantiate from the standard lib they get the standard one, otherwise they the the corporate verilog-A/AMS block.
    (which is, of course, under revision control)
