Generating a pulse signal with specific duty cycle using AWR Cadence

ameny

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to generate a pulse signal with a specific duty cycle and  with fixing th number of the pulses using AWR Cadence ? I searched in the previous questins in the Forum and there were answers for this question concerning Cadence virtuoso , not AWR cadence.

Thank you in advance for your time and your help. 

Regards,

Ameny

  • If you are using the harmonic balance simulator, time domain measurements will only show you 2 pulses, which is already redundant, since the simulation results are steady-state and periodic by definition. 

    To "fix the number of pulses" you have to use transient analysis (e.g. APLAC Transient) for your time domain measurements.  The length of the transient simulation is 2 periods by default, but can be changed: right-click on schematic > Options > APLAC Sim tab > Transient Options > uncheck Use Project Defaults and Use HB settings.  If you want a fixed number of pulses, followed by no pulses for a while, you can multiply the pulse source with a PWL source using a VOLTMULT element.
