Title: Temp in Corners analysis Post by ywguo on May 16th, 2007, 7:18pm Hi, Guys, I use Corners Analysis in ADE. I fill in 25, -40, and 125 for typ, fast, and slow corners respectively. One more parameter named supply is defined for supply voltage variation. That is 1.8, 1.9, 1.7 for typ, fast, and slow corners respectively. The corners analysis works fine. However, I do not find temp parameter in altergroup when I take a look at input.scs. In my input.scs file, the altergroup is shown like the following. ... fast altergroup { parameters supply=1.9 include \ ".............model.scs" \ ... Which file is the parameter temp defined in when I run a corners analysis in ADE? Thank you Yawei |

Title: Re: Temp in Corners analysis Post by Andrew Beckett on Jun 4th, 2007, 1:17pm Yawei, The input.scs file that you get when you use the corners tool is not exactly how it would be done if you run spectre standalone. This is because the corners tool talks to spectre interactively, and tells it to: use a named altergroup set the temperature run the named analyses use the next names altergroup set the next temperature run the named analyses again Normally you'd repeat the analyses between each altergroup, and set the temperature directly - but the interactive MPS (Message Passing Subsystem) (effectively a form of Remote Procedure Call) allows the corners tool (or ADE) to control spectre directly. It's somewhat unfortunate that it's done this way, because it makes life a little hard for us application engineers to debug corners problems in the simulator without a fairly complete testcase - although there are ways and means ;) . However, despite the fact that the netlist doesn't show the temperature changes, it should actually change in practice! Best Regards, Andrew. |
