Simulation temerature dependent on DC power

Martinsh
Martinsh over 1 year ago

Assume die temperature temp=tamb+k*Pdc. Here tamb is the ambient temperature. Pdc is the DC power consumped on the circuit to be simulated. The die temperature rises with Pdc. Can we run such a simulation with Spectre?

Regards,

Martin

    Martin,

    You can do this with a Verilog-A module which is doing whatever measurement you wish (e.g. measuring the power) and then calling $cds_set_temperature (which is covered in the Cadence Verilog-A Language Reference manual).

    Regards,

    Andrew
