Does anyone have a good general strategy for getting a good operating point for starting a transient analysis of a rather large circuit which contains many switched capacitor type circuits?

The issue I have is that there are things like switched capacitor common mode feedback circuits which take some time to settle and they don't really have a nice DC operating point when the clock is off.  The result is I have to simulate quite a large number of clock cycles just waiting for the initial transients to die out.  Things get even worse if there are even slower circuits involved such as an externally bypassed reference.  I need to do a DCop analysis to get that converged or I'll never be able to simulate enough clock cycles to have it reach steady state.

For a schematic only sim, I can play tricks with controlled sources and large resistors to force the circuit to have a nice DC operating point, but if I try and use say an RC extracted netlist, I loose the ability to insert all of these bandaids.

I've tried things like running a dcop with liberal tolerances in spectre, writing out the result and then using that as a readic initial condition with skipdc=yes, but sometimes it doesn't take.  i.e. the circuit behaves in the transient sim as though it was given an inconsistent initial condition.  I've seen jumps of a volt on large (> 1uF) caps in the first time step.

Is spectre just the wrong tool for this job?
