When I enter a value smaller than 1 (e.g. 0.1) into the fmax option field of the spectre turbo parasitic reduction (using icfb 5.10.41), it get an error warning: "Invalid value specified for Fmax. Switching to default parasitic reduction mode."

Can the value of fmax be smaller than 1GHz? Is my formating wrong or is that just another bug? As usual, I haven't found anything in the documentation.

Thanks for help, Cheers

Berti,

 Originally the minimum value of fmax was limited to 1GHz. In more
recent versions of MMSIM/IC, fractional values are supported.

                                                               Best Regards,

                                                                   Sheldon
