analog multiplexer for simulation
Aug 18^th, 2009, 12:39am

Hi,

I am using specre and for a testbench I would need an analog multiplexer, what I can control via a variable setting or any similar handy way.
My goal is basically: I want to change the load of a circuitry in a simple way and I want to edit the testench once, after I just want to set a variable or somethig like that.

I hope you have some idea. Thanks ...

Regards,

These can be controlled by means of a variable you can set.... The cell is simply called "switch". Hope this helps Tosei

Hi,

would be a possibility

Actually I target a Verilog-A solution, then I could simply define one variable and I could even sweep it in simulation.
Simply placing shorts or opens to branches...
But I end up with that in many problems in simulation (convergence ...)

The convergence problems you are pointing out might be related to the very high impedance on the terminals of your verilogA block. If you use switches as I suggested you can more easily avoid these problems. Regards Tosei
