Import several pwl signals through one file?

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to import 300 pwl signals as input of my circuit and run the simulation. I already know how to import single pwl signal as input (use vsource and select pwl file), but is it possible that I put 300 pwl signals in one csv file and import it, and after simulation, I can get 300 simulation results? I see someone has already asked about this two years ago https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/f/custom-ic-design/43338/how-we-can-use-the-single-vcvs-file-containing-n-waveforms-for-generating-the-n-voltage-waveform-sources-in-ade-x Does is possible without writing Verilog A node now? I'm using IC6.1.8.

What I'm also considering is, since I already have 300 csv files of pwl, so I can set filename as global variable and do sweep simulation. Is it possible?

Another question is, what does "pwl file as design var" means?

Thanks a lot for help!

Regards,

Holz

I suggest that you take a look at https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?id=a1O0V000006DdyOUAS (which is about the nport, but I would expect the pwl source to work in a similar way).

Hello sir,

it seems like adexl doesn't support artMakeString when I try to use it in global variables. According to https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/f/rf-design/36312/sweeping-nport-file-name-with-adexl , I tried to use sprintf to do filename sweep.

However I get errors when I run the simulation, how can I fix it?

Thanks a lot for help!

Regards,

Holz

Did you select "PWL File as Design Var?"
