simulation of Short circuit condition in parallel plate capacitor

NorNand

Hello,

I am simulating a Capacitive Microphone a  MEMS in cadence (which is simply equivelant to two parallel plate capacitor), I have one issue in the simulation, when the two plates of the capacitor touch each other at certain amount of biasing voltage (pull-in voltage) or pressure..then the simulator will take a very big time to understand this short  circuit (which is practically should not be happen but need for the purpose of simulation).

How can I make Cadence ADE process this edge faster and move forward.

I am using Cadence vertuoso IC6.1.5-64b

Thanks

    I don't think there's any chance of being able to advise you here without seeing the model, the circuit and test bench and the simulator logs. You've not provided enough information to understand what the issue is. I don't know what you even mean by "process this edge faster".

    This would be best handled via customer support.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
