PSS+PNoise with voltage source noise and device noise

Hi,

I am using  ADE Assembler in IC23.1 for my simulation.

In my test bench, a "vpulse" is driving a clock booster. I would like to measure the Jee at clock booster output, including previous stage output noise and noise generated by clock booster.

To model noise generated by previous stages, "Generate Noise" option in vpulse is enable and a edge phase noise file is included as shown in1st pic.

Meanwhile, to enable device noise in clock booster, I enable the "noise contribution" in "Simulator Options" -> "Noise option", as shown in 2nd pic

However, Jee at "vpulse" output is 0. Jee at clock booster output is a reasonable number.

And then I did some experiments below and summarized as following

1) Disable device noise, only enable noise in "vpulse", Edge phase noise at "vpulse" output matches to the file included in "vpulse" CDF. And Jee at vpulse output and clock booster output makes sense.

2) Disable noise in "vpulse", enable device noise, Jee at "vpulse" output is 0, and Jee at clock booster is some reasonable number.

3) Enable both noise in "vpulse" and "device noise" in noise option, Jee at "vpulse" is 0, and Jee at clock booster is the same as that in (2).

It looks like simulation will NOT recognize noise file in "vpulse" when device noise option is enabled. 

Do you have idea to resolve this issue?

Thanks and regards,

Yutao
