best way to integrate different calibre extraction corners to virtuoso ADE

micipici

Hi,

I am using calibre parasitics extraction. To use this extraction in ADE for sim. calibre view is added to "enviroment" "switch view list".

But there are five extraction corners and every corner is extracted at only one temperature.   It seems that in virtuoso  "switch view list" only one calibre view can be added.

So my question is what is the best way to integrate different extracted corners into virtuoso?  

Somehow i dont want to have  5 * 2(ext. corners * 2(hi/low temp)) different tests for every measurement that i want to make.

Also temp sweep are not possible then. What is the best way to integrate those corners better in ADE?

    ADE Assembler has the ability to use a "config sweep". The idea is that rather than using the view switch list, you would create a config view with the hierarchy editor and pick the default view list and stop list (using the spectre template).

    Then in ADE Assembler, over the global variables you can use Right Mouse->Add Config Sweep and then specify the cell you want to sweep the view of, and pick the list of views to switch between. This then becomes a sweep like everything else. You can add this config sweep variable to your corner set up too and then you could sweep the temperature as part of the corners too.

    Hopefully that's clear enough?
