====== Worst case analysis - spectre'a ====== details: file:///$CDS/designKits/ams_v3.70/www/appnotes/analog/ana_rev.html \\ On the icfb menu you choose // HIT-KIT Utilities // -> //Corner analysis//. \\ In the newly opened of corner analysis window we are making: * Simulator -- **spectre**. * In //Circuit name// field enter a simulating cell name. * In //Supply voltage name// field enter the variable name of power supply value (must be set in dc voltage field in vdc supplying the circuit) * Adding a // corner // through the //add corner// button and choose a right model section from combo-box: * wp - Worst Power * ws - Worst Speed * wo - Worst One * wz - Worst Zero. \\ \\ Save settings pushing **OK** \\ Next, open a simulating cell and run //Virtuoso Analog Environment//. From //tools// menu choose //corners analysis//. If everything well was done, a window will appear with loaded analyses. The analyses types (dc, ac, tran) and variables are setting in //analog environment//. However outputs may be setting on //analog environment// or //corner analysys// tools. ===== Worst case setting ===== ^ Case ^ corner no. ^ MOS ^ RES ^ CAP ^ BJT ^ Temp ^ Supply ^ | Typ | 1 | TM | TM | TM | TM | typ | typ | | WP | 2 | WP | WP | WP | HS | min | max | | WS | 3 | WS | WS | WS | HB | max | min | | WS | 4 | WS | WS | WS | LB | min | min | | WOWP | 5 | WO | WP | WP | HS | min | max | | WOWS | 6 | WO | WS | WS | HB | max | min | | WZWP | 7 | WZ | WP | WP | HS | min | max | | WZWS | 8 | WZ | WS | WS | HB | max | min |
