PAC + PSS for a single-inductor multiple-output (SIMO) converter with verilogA

I would like to run PAC + PSS for a single-inductor multiple-output (SIMO) converter to plot small signal transfer function from duty cycle to each ouput of the converter.  However, some blocks of the schematic are implemented in verilogA. So is it possible to find the small transfer function?

Thanks for help.

    Yes, provided you follow a set of rules to ensure that the VerilogA model can be simulated in SpectreRF (and that it's possible to do a reasonable small-signal linearisation of the model). See this useful document on Hidden state in SpectreRF

    Regards,

    Andrew
