How to use pss-pnoise output noise spectrum in pll excess phase model

Hello

I ran PSS+Pnoise on LC VCO. Now i have output noise profile in sqr(v)/Hz vs offset frequency. Now i want to use this spectrum in PLL excess phase model(created in virtuoso)  to check how PLL will filter this noise.

Please can you help me how to do this. Because i am not getting any source in virtuoso which can read spectrum csv file.

With Regards

Munish

    I'm not sure there's a way of doing that, other than reading the file in VerilogA and consuming it in your model.

    There is the ability to specify a single-sideband phase noise file as a noise source on a vsource, but I don't think that will help you here.

    Andrew.

    Thanks Andrew.

    Specifying single sideband output noise in sqr(v)/Hz format as noise file in vsource and running noise analysis worked for me.

    Thanks Slight smile
