Test dependency in monte carlo simulations with ADEXL

Storck
Storck over 5 years ago

Greetings!

I am simulating a schematic with ADEXL. This circuit has a trimming to compensate process and mismatch variations. I have a test where I find the best trimming word and other to measure the circuit response at this trimming word. I've done the test dependency with calcVal() and for corner simulation it is working just fine. 

The problem is when I run monte carlo. It looks like it takes different samples for each test, in a way that the word found in the first test is not useful to improve the performance of the second test.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

    There's a Rapid Adoption Kit on support.cadence.com which covers various approaches to calibration (including calcVal, run plans and pre-run scripts). This can be found by going to Resources->Rapid Adoption Kits and then in the search box where it says "Search in Rapid Adoption Kits" enter "calibration" - you'll then find it.

    I thought it would be useful to describe the way to find it rather than just give a link...

    Andrew.
