saving mulitple operating points in spectre tran
May 23rd, 2006, 3:14am
 
Hi,
Spectre question:
I would like to save a number of operating point state files from in a very time consuming transient simulation I'm running so that I can then run ac analysis using the "prevopoint=yes" option for AC analysis at each timepoint.

As I undertand it, the ac analysis will use the spectre.fc file created at the end of a transient sim when "prevopoint=yes".
So how can I create spectre.fc  files at specific time points  during the one transient sim?

I see in the transient options form that there is a parameter "infotimes" which can be used to save the full dc operating point as a binary at specific time points.  But as far as I can see  the ac analysis needs a textfile in the same format as the spectre.fc.

Any ideas on this?

thanks,
Kevin.

Kevin,

  Have you tried the acnames and actimes option for transient
analysis? Of course you need to be using a recent version of
Spectre.

                                                        Best Regards,

                                                           Sheldon
