How to run a Monte Carlo simulation while scanning the temperature?

zuiying

Hello! I am simulating a integral oscillator. In order to get the period, I use tran simulaton and delay function to get the time interval for Vc to rise through 0.5V. 

In order to get the relation between period and temperature, I use parameter analysis to scan the temperature. 


Now, I want to figure out what deviation will occur in the periodic-temperature curve when there is a random mismatch. But I didn't find how to run a Monte Carlo simulation while scanning the temperature. 

Is there any method? Thank you very much!

  • I believe you're using the obsolete ADE XL rather than ADE Assembler. In ADE XL you can't do a sweep at the same time as Monte Carlo (via a sweep of Global Variables) whereas this is possible in ADE Assembler (the parametric sweep you showed was from ADE L too - also obsolete).

    You could however create a corner in ADE XL (and Assembler) where you add a corner where you set the temperature to 20:10:40 (20 to 40 in steps of 10 degrees). This will then run a Monte Carlo at each of the three sweep points in the corner.
