Switch view during AMS simulation?

FrankVater
FrankVater over 10 years ago

I have a large digital block. If I perform a pure analogue simulation it takes a long time. Only some specific time windows are in interest to get analogue values.

It is possible to simulate the design at first digital to a certain time stamp, switch to schematic and to resume the simulation? Also schematic sim followed by extracted sim are in focus of interest.

    Frank, no, you can't do this as far as I know. The issue would be that even with the save/restart capability of AMS, you'd be missing information about the state of the nodes in the circuit that weren't present before. It is however possible to get the analog part of the design to only start at a particular time - this is useful if you have a long digital initialisation sequence where the analog does not need to be active at all.
