saving operating points

Charanraj Mohan over 9 years ago

Hi,

I am writing something like this below,

'save M0,M1:all'

in the file saveop.scs and loading this in the model libraries setting of the ADE and getting the dc operating points in the simulation.

It worked well in AMS 0.35um, UMC 130nm, but not in ST 130nm :-(

Do you have an alternate way to this easier like above or to tackle this ??

I am using IC 6.1.6 130 version.

Thanks in advance.
