Outputting Specific Value After Current Threshold is Crossed

Hi everyone,

Setup: ADE Explorer simulation with multiple Run options across multiple corners -- where I am sweeping my gate input voltage from rail to rail, and calculating different parameters including average current within a time period.

My Question: Is there a way to detect which one of these average currents across the entire sweep will be the closest to a certain threshold? (e.g. 2 uA). Then output the closest input gate voltage at that specific threshold for the Corner? If so, what is the easiest way to do this via setup?

Note: this can be done post-processing of course via excel or similar, but I want to know if I can do this within the simulation tool itself. It would be much more convenient.

Thank you

Dear life,

Are you aware you can run an ocean script as an output in Assembler? Perhaps it could be used to parse you currents after the simulation completes, and, based on that, choose the respective gate voltage. A couple of articles that discuss how to use and ocean script following an Assembler run are at URL:

Do either of these provide any insight for you?
