Some Calculator Functions in MDL, Using a Variable in MDL

baltacican87

Hello,

I am using Virtuoso version IC6.1.7.

I would like to implement the following functions of the calculator in an MDL file:

- rshift (or any type of time shift)

- settlingTime

- firstVal

- xval

- xmin

- ymin

How can I do that?

Moreover, I would like to use the variables that I define in ADE L in the expressions inside MDL file. How can I do that?

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Can

    Hi Can,

    OCEAN function Equivalent MDL
    rshift I don't believe there is one. This would require an enhancement request
    settlingTime settlingtime
    firstVal V(out) @ min(xval(V(out)))
    xval xval
    xmin argmin
    ymin min

    For the time shift I couldn't find this ever having come up before as being an issue.

    For design variables in ADE, you can just reference those in your MDL expressions, provided they are used in the circuit somewhere. If they are not used, they get filtered out (from my experiments).
