ADE Model setup question

StephanWeber
StephanWeber over 2 years ago

Hi,

normally the ADE test setup contains many model files and picks certain sections like for NMOS5V the section MAX. And the ADE corner tool has a similar setup accordingly.

To make the setup more compact, I created a new scs lib file on top, which includes the model files. Inside the lib file I have defined kind of wrapper sections like  allTYP, allMAX, FastNSlowP, RCmax, etc. And inside them I defined the section settings for the many model files.

If I now only include this new lib file and select a section like allMAX, I end up in a much more compact model setup. And I was happy till I found a negative side-effect:

Running the resulting corner setup I see in Detailed Transposed view only the settings for the wrapper section, like allMAX, but NOT anymore the individual section e.g. for resistors, nmos, pmos, etc.

That is a clear disadvantage regarding documentation and I also cannot calculate the correlations to a certain section anymore, or plot across a certain section, or apply a filter like NMOS5V should be MAX.

Is there a way to tell ADE to still show the settings of the individual sections (defined behind e.g. allMAX)?

Bye Stephan
