pss does not converge
Oct 30th, 2016, 8:57am
 
Hi everyone
I design clock generator that create four non overlap clock at 1 GHZ,in fact I have four non overlap clock which each one has frequency of 1Ghz
I can do transient analysis and it gives me four non overlap clock at 1Ghz,however when I do PSS analysis I got converge problem,it said it does not converge .
I change tstab and some parameter but still give me this error
anybody have any idea?
Thanks in advance

I think I remember reading that PSS can have convergence difficulties if any of the clocks is transitioning at the end of the period.

If at first you do succeed, STOP, raise your standards, and stop wasting your time.

Actually I did transient analysis and I create layout for my clock generator  ,and this is my RLC extraction from clock generator

Autonomous or driven?

Actually I inject 4GhZ Clock generator and it gives me four non overlap clock at 1Ghz,structure of clock is consist of flipflop(transmission gate and inverter) ,inverter  .nor gate and so on
I try different tstab,different tolerance option ,still did no work
result that I show above is transient result where I did RLC extraction

*************************************************
Periodic Steady-State Analysis `pss': fund = 4 GHz
**************************************************
Trying `homotopy = gmin' for initial conditions.

Notice from spectre during IC analysis, during periodic steady state analysis `pss'.
   GminDC = 1 pS is large enough to noticeably affect the DC solution.
       dV(I0.I171|I1|T3:int_d) = -93.7384 mV
       Use the `gmin_check' option to eliminate or expand this report.
   Bad pivoting is found during DC analysis. Option dc_pivot_check=yes is recommended for possible improvement of convergence.

DC simulation time: CPU = 899.863 ms, elapsed = 900.905 ms.

I think the circuit which you are trying is a 25% duty cycle generator for mixers. Do you have slow settling nodes in your circuit? Like some biasing ? Is PSS not converging for schematic or extraction?

Yes,duty cycle is 25%, No I do not have any biasing except vdd
Pss does not converge for schematic  and also extraction

input is 4Ghz clcok and output is four nonoverlap clcok at 1Ghz
I even  change input frequncy  to 1Ghz ,did not converge again

Your input is fin and output is at fin/4. The PSS fundamental period should be defined as fin/4. For 4 GHz, you should use 1 GHz. Similarly for 1 GHz, beat is 250 MHz.
