Title: combining PWL and smooth waveforms in one voltage source
Post by sutapanaki on Jun 25^th, 2020, 6:46pm

Hi,

I need to create a verilogA script for a voltage source that combines both PWL and smooth sections of its behavior, like in the attached picture. I can use the transition filter for the PWL part and I think for the smooth part it is best if I use the branch contribution operator <+ only. I don't know how to combine both. Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks.

You could use addition or multiplication. For example:

Code:

analog begin
offset = transition(enable, 0, 10n);
sine = ampl*sine(6.28*freq*$abstime);
V(out) <+ offset + sine;
end

Code:

analog begin
on = transition(enable, 0, 10n);
sine = on*ampl*sine(6.28*freq*$abstime);
V(out) <+ sine;
end
