Smoke Analysis on subcircuit

tt543

Hello,

I've been trying to run smoke analysis on my design for a while. I've managed to run it on active devices (FETs and diodes), but it refuses to run on passive components - subcircuit based .lib files. For example I have an inductor with the following model:

.subckt ind_reg0 1 2

L1 1 3 10e-6

R1 3 2 0.3

.ENDS

I also added the following definition to device property file:

("IND_REG0"

(Creator "XXXXX")

("device_info"

( SYMBOL_NAME "inductor" )

( MODEL_TYPE 2 )

( PORT_ORDER

("1")

("2") )

)

("device_max_ops"

(LI "0.11")

)

)

When I run smoke analysis (after transient) I get the "non-fatal error: Current data not found for Smoke test LI" I've verified that I check "All" in data collection options. I also tried updating node names in pre-smoke section of template property file. But nothing helped.

Does anyone have an idea how to run smoke analysis on subcircuit based passives?

Thanks in advance for you help!

  • First, thank you for your help.

    I added the Variables part. And yet it doesn't work for inductor. I could get smoke analysis  for a resistor (PDM, TB and RV) and a capacitor (CV and CI), but nothing for an inductor. Also, for some reason the resistor PDM gets 0% derating all the time, and I didn't specify it.
