Send dc match results to the outputs

IC6.1.7-64b.500.13

Hi all,

I wonder if there's a possibility of sending the results of a dc match simulation directly to the ADE-L outputs window. Typically, a summary of the dc match results can be seen in the output log of the simulation, but it would be really convenient to be able to see the mismatch result directly as is done with other measurements coming from stb analysis via results > Direct Plot > main form. In any case, if there's an alternative way to do so I'd be thankful if you can share it here.

Regards,

Lewis

    Dear Lewis,

    i don't know whether there is a direct way to add the result of a dcmatch analysis to the ADE-L outputs.
    You could try to open the simulation results in the ViVA Browser and search there for the corresponding signal(s).
    From ViVA you can send these signals to the calculator or the ADE.

    Kind regards,

    Matthias

    Lewis,

    It's not clear to me what you'd want. Normally the point of dcmatch is to see all the contributions to the mismatch, and so it's not obvious what you'd want to appear in the ADE L outputs. We have Results->Print->Mismatch Summary which is a way of analysing it, but I can't think why you'd want any particular contribution to appear in the ADE L outputs.

    The data is all there in the results browser as Matthias suggested though.

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    Sorry for the lack of clarity. What I would like to appear is the estimated overall dc mismatch, which appears at the end of the summary after listing the contributions (3-sigma total variation). See below:

    Thanks to the Results > Print > Mismatch Summary I have already identified the top contributors (and from theory as well). What I would like to have is some quick way of observing how changing a design parameter affects the estimated dc mismatch in the signal of interest.

    I hope I have made myself clear this time.

    Regards,
