Check Mosfet operation region with Checks/Asserts

LukiLeu

In ADE L I could check the mosfet operation region with the "Device Checking" Tool. I recently switched to ADE Explorer and wanted to do there the same. However I cannot get to set up the wanted check in the "Checks/Assert" Form. I added ther the following data:

- Subs: My devices (eg. nmos4 pmos4)
- Param: region
- Values: tried 3, sat
- Analyses: dcOP

However it keeps saying that there are no violations but with the Device Checking Tool there are violations reported. How do I need to set up the Checks/Assert Form to achieve the same?

Kind regards

Lukas

    Hi Lukas,

    I think that the document below should help you setup your device checks. Please refer to chapter 3 in particular which explains the different ways of setting up and running operating region checks on devices in Explorer.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Saloni,

    The section  "Operating Points Output – OP Region Spec" in your document described exactly what I was searching for! Thanks.
