temperature variation on AMS transient simulations
Jun 05th, 2010, 2:26pm
 
Hi,

Is there any way to run transient simulation in AMS where the temperature is slowly varied?

Thanks for your comments.

thechopper,
Yes. Use something like (example from Cadence Spectre Circuit Simulator Reference):
Code:
tran1 tran stop=0.5u param=temp param_vec=[0ns 20 50ns 25] param_step=10ns 

"In this tran run, the temperature is interpolated with slope (25-20)/(50ns-0ns) and updated every param_step (10ns)."

Hope this helps.
BOE

[Added:] Also this is from Spectre documentation, it also works with AMS.

Hi Guys,

It's really interesting to run a transient simulation while temperature varies slowly. However, how do I plot temperature variation vs. time in AWD or wavescan after the transient simulation finishes.

Best Regards,
Yawei

Thanks for your answer, boe.
I knew in Spectre such simulation could be run, but I was not aware there was such an option in AMS environment.
I'll try it out then.

Best

Yawei,
Add the following line to your Spectre netlist: Code:
save temp 

This enables saving of the temperature.
