Virtuoso ADE Assembler (or Explorer) - parametric set

FormerMember
FormerMember over 4 years ago

Hi.

when trying to simulate a design in ADE Assembler (or Explorer) using parametric set in Global Variables, i have noticed not all of the combinations are applied in certain set of values.

i suspect it happens when a parameter has more than 2 values and some of the values are repeated.

for example, this choice of values seems fine:

i expected  to get 3 simulations, 3 points, so it's ok. but when changing the circled values from '1 2 3' to '1 1 3' i get only 2 simulations:

could that be a bug? or am is missing something?

Thanks.

    I remember reading on support.cadence.com about a bug that is triggered by the same value being repeated in a variable of a parametric set (like it is the case for the 1 in sel0 in your second example). Unfortunately, I have not been able to find that article again, but the bug should be fixed in the most recent version.

    Frank, maybe it was this thread you're thinking of (see my response to that thread)? As you rightly said, this is fixed in IC6.1.8/ICADVM18.1 ISR13.

    Andrew.

    Indeed, now I remember. This also explains why I couldn't find it on support.cadence.com.
