Alternative Methods for Exporting Data from ADE Assembler to MATLAB

Sameerpy

I am currently using Cadence on a university server that does not have the Virtuoso MATLAB Integration Option license (ID 95252), as required by the ADE Assembler/Explorer documentation for integration with MATLAB. Given this limitation, I am seeking an alternative method to export data to MATLAB (online) for further processing.

My objective is to optimize the transistor sizes of an amplifier to achieve a reasonable gain and other figures of merit. I am following the steps outlined in the "Optimize Transistor Sizes of Analog Circuit for Best Performance" section of the Mixed Analog and Digital Signals documentation. The documentation can be found at the following link: Mixed Analog and Digital Signals Documentation

Could you please advise on any alternative methods to export data from ADE Assembler to MATLAB under these constraints?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Your post was marked as potential spam because of the external URL in the post (obviously this one is OK). You also posted the question in the Feedback, Suggestions and Questions forum which is for issues with the forums, not for technical issues. So I've moved this to a more appropriate place.

    The documentation you are looking at relies on the Virtuoso MATLAB Integration Option license.

    Depending on what you're trying to export, you could:

    1. Export the scalar output results to a CSV file and then read these into MATLAB
    2. For waveform data, you can export individual waveforms to MATLAB within VIVA (right mouse over the waveform trace)
    3. You could use the Spectre Toolbox for MATLAB (shipped with the SPECTRE release) - cds_srr - to read the PSF data and extract the waveform data that way.
