Different simulation result from ADE L and ADE XL

AtaV

Hello everyone,

I am using cadence ICADV 12.3 and ADE XL for my simulations. For some reason, I am having a differences in the result I get from ADE-L and ADE-XL simulations despite that everything is the same for both of the simulations. Below is the complete description of what I did.

From DC simulation, I was trying to plot the figure of Id versus Vgs while Vgs is swept from 0 to 1.2v. To this end, I included a “Definition File”, which I call “saveop.scs” and it has following command to save the transistor’ operating point information.        save MN:all

The expression getData(“MN:id” ?result “dc”) is used to get the id curve. But for some reason I am getting different results from ADE L and ADE XL simulation.I know that there are other ways to do this plot. The reason I used this way is that I also need other small signal parameters (like cgg, cdd, region,…) for my post processing but they also have the same problem. I would appreciate any sort of help in this regard. Thanks in advance.

  • Dearr AtaV,

    I might suggest you compare the two input.scs files and their associated runSimulation files to make sure both are identical. The input.scd file and runSimulation files are in the ADE-L and ADEXL netlist directories.
