RE: How to select objects under visible VUE markers?
If you're asking about Synopsys tools, you're asking in the wrong place (this is a forum for Cadence tools). Not clear whether the second part of your question is relevant to Virtuoso or not - since...

Vijay, Not sure what you've tried doing. I've attached a small worked example (open mylib/testbench/adexl and run a simulation). I've got this set on the plotting options to "Auto" and so it will plot...
View ArticleRE: Inconsistent "PSD" results between MATLAB & Cadence Calculator
I think this is because your limits are incorrect for the PSD. You need to set them to be between 0 and 65536*1n, not from 1n to 65536*1n. I ran my transient analysis and set strobeperiod to be 1/FSAMP...

Jinesh, Given that we are restricted in talking about that technology (there needs to be an NDA in place) I'm not comfortable with discussing it in a public place (you should be cautious too). So...
