Measures with spectre syntax (OCEAN measure)

AnnaS
Hello. Just wondering if someone could be able to help me to use FindWhen measure for DC analysis with spectre syntax.

Here is  corresponding hspice sample which I am trying to convert:

.MEASURE vtsat_sp find VTH(MN2) when v(vg1)=0.2

.MEASURE idsat    find i(vd3)   when V(Vg1)=0.2
 

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Anna,

    Better late than never, but I ran your example (changing the models, and just sticking to one alter to keep it simple), and the expression was:

    value(v("MN2:vth" ?result "sweep1_srcSweep-sweep") 0.2   )

    Note I had to put:

    save *:vth sigtype=dev

    in the netlist. Exactly what the ?result name will be depends on how the sweep was done, but you should be able to see this in the ViVA/Wavescan results browser. Since the x-axis is pvar, which is the voltage on source Vg1, just taking the value at 0.2 is equivalent to your measurement. 

    For the current, it would be:

    value(i("Vd3:p" ?result "sweep1_srcSweep-sweep") 0.2   )

    Regards,

    Andrew.
