How do I send Stability Summary into the Calculator?

Nader Fathy

Hello,

I have an iprobe in a loop of a feedback amplifier, and I am running PSS with PSTB simulation. When simulation finishes, I click on ADE L results >> Analysis "pstb" >> Function "Stability Summary", and this shows me the Phase Margin and Gain Margin summary.

How do I load these results into a calculator to send them to ADE? I need this because I want to run Monte Carlo on my amplifier to check that it will be stable with process/mismatches.

I am using the following versions:

MMSIM Version: 13.1.1.660.isr18

Virtuoso Version: IC6.1.8-64b.500.1

irun Version: 14.10-s039

Spectre Version: 18.1.0.421.isr9

Many thanks in advance!

    There are at least two possibilities for adding results to the outputs. One is the "Add To Outputs" option of the Direct Plot form and another one is the Right-Mouse-Button Menu of the Results Browser.

    Thank you Frank!

    The "Add To Outputs" is not available in "Stability Summary" window, but I was able to search for it in the Results Browser and sent it to ADE L successfully.

    Again, many thanks for your help.

    You're quite right. This is a limitation we should fix. I found an old request which was voided because part of it was implemented, but the direct plot phase/gain margin and PM/GM frequency entries (with "add to outputs") were not implemented. The new request is CCR 2186596.
