ADE-XL Op. Region specs

rvz1

I'm having an issue with IC6.1.6-64b.101. I'm trying to setup operating region specs for a DC operating point run. The first problem that I found was that I have two transistors with similar instance names. One is M4 and the other is M4C. I'm setting up an operating region spec of vds-vdsat > 50m. If I only select M4 for this spec the results that the simulator chooses are actually the DC operating point numbers from M4C. I got around this on one schematic by choosing both FETs for the spec but only enabling one.

On a 2nd schematic this did not work. Again, if I only choose M4, it selects the operating point results of M4C. However, now when I choose both FETs I get an "eval error" in the results. If I look at the log, it says "unbound variable vdsat".

Has anybody had any luck with this tool?

Thanks ahead of time for your help.

    This shouldn't happen - please contact customer support (it's possible that the issue has been fixed in a later subversion, but by going through customer support we can check precisely what you're doing and try to repeat it.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
