Thanks for your reply Ken!
I understand what you're saying, although my observations are not in line with you last statement.
Quote:The step parameter places a limit on how much the simulator will reduce the timestep in this case.
I've seen Spectre reduce the timestep even further on multiple occasions. I was expecting a warning about reaching the minimal stepsize, but I didn't got one. Although not that important, I was wondering in my original post why than setting the parameter in the first place?
I'd like to ask you as well about something related: the default transient times of the analogLib sources (rise and fall times and such). First of all, I think the importance of
not setting these parameters justifies a warning, as it could rather well be a mistake. But more importantly, why using a default value of stop/100?! So it is based neither on the total transient time (stop-start) nor the maximal step size (maxstep) nor the minimal stepsize (step). Relating it to the latter would make more sense to me, together with a warning that is..
Thanks, Paul
