Cadence Monte Carlo frequency sweeps - howto ?

[Jan Hvolgaard Mikkelsen]

Hi,

Im looking to do som ac frequency sweeps using the Monte carlo feature
in order to establish minimum and maximum transfer function deviations
over a large frequency band. However, Im only able to evaluate the
transfer function at a single frequency point for every Monte carlo
iteration.

Does anyone know how to get SpectreS to store the entire ac frequency
sweep for every Monte carlo iteration ?

Im running the 442 relase of Cadence and Im using SpectreS under analog
artist.

Best regards,

Jan Mikkelsen

Your best bet is to upgrade to IC443, where the spectre interface supports this
(note, this is the new spectre-direct interface, which has monte-carlo built
into the simulator, and doesn't use cdsSpice, so is heaps faster).

Best Regards,

Andrew.
