Jumper, Simulation MUX etc

itos

Hi,

How to I best implement a "jumper", MUX or switches for simulation time?

Often, I want to avoid creating new testbenches for every single purpose.

Example: I have an LO input and for certain simulations I want to DC couple a bias voltage through an inductor. But in other scenarios, this inductor should be disconnected. On a PCB, I can implement this with a 2x2 header that I jumper properly.

In Cadence so far I always manually remove the wire connection which is a pain.

What I envison is a MUX (or similar) with multiple inputs and based on a CDF parameter (that eventually I set in the ADE L window as design variable) one connection is routed through and the others disabled.

Thanks!

    Hi,

    please try the switch, sp1tswitch ...sp4tswitch devices from the analogLib.
    For more information check the documentation.

    Kind regards,

    Marc
