升级到Allegro17.2-2016的10大理由之5:如何层叠
在这我们谈论的不是您的叠层设计跟其他人比怎么样,而是您设计的 PCB 层叠结构,是刚性板、柔性板、刚柔板,或者使用了镶嵌技术。层叠的定义,更具体而准确的层叠的定义,是至关重要的。各种材料的安排会影响需要的阻抗控制和减少关键信号串扰的计算和分析,从而影响了最终产品性能。表达真实基材厚度(包括掩模层)的 ECAD / MCAD...

Ok, your supplied example is NOT what you stated in your opening post. However, I think you trimmed down a real example into a fake one and that has problems. All that said, I think this solvable if...

Hi Alireza, I just tried this - it works fine for me. Which version of spectre are you using? I just tried using Spectre sub-version 17.1.0.346.isr7. It's always useful to know which version of the...

You didn't give any indication of what went wrong or what errors were given. Three things that I can spot: The nil on the first line would probably be better being "schematic" so that it knows what...

The model only defines that the voltage between ps and ns will be 10mV in your example. The absolute values will depend on how the instance of your Vcvs is connected up. If you have the ns pin...

Which version are you using? How exactly are you generating the plots - I'm not sure I'd expect it to behave this way - so there must be some subtlety to your example which is not obvious... Andrew.

it was an issue with some permissions which I managed to fix. However I am running into a new one when following the RAK and running the AMS simulation. I am getting the error that no connection module...

Thank you Andrew. Let's still take vcvs as the example. I know that if ns is connected to a reference Vref, the output will be Vref+gain*(p-n). But what if ns is floating? In my spectre simulation, if...

Spectre doesn't have any "presumptions". However, floating nodes present a problem for circuit simulators, because they are trying to solve a system of simultaneous nonlinear differential equations,...

Indeed a very clear explanation. Thank you Andrew.

First of all, it sounds as if the "configuration" step was not done when installing your INCISIVE (or XCELIUM) installation. You should do that to ensure all reference libraries are compiled...
