RE: Eye Diagram Plot Zoom In Problem
This seems to be a bug with eye diagrams plotted with "Intensity" turned on. Plot it without that and you'll be able to zoom in OK. I suggest you report this to customer support and ask for a duplicate...

RE: Placing large amount of parts
A trick I recommend is to delete all dimensions and other documentation objects before compiling your dras. This can have a major benefit on big designs if your dras are full of such things....

RE: skill code for layout area estimates
Thomas, Unfortunately it's going to be rather hard to answer wearing a blindfold so that we can't a) see your code and b) see the instances it is trying to replace and precisely what goes wrong. This...

RE: Missing EEnet connect modules
Thanks Saloni. That was a big help. #1 worked for me. #2 ended up not being anything to worry about. Where would I go to read about svams as opposed to sv or vams?

RE: Missing EEnet connect modules
Hi Dan, That's great. Co-existence of SV and VAMS in the same code (.svams) is a new standard being developed and will take some time (years) to be formalized. Until then, you will have to rely on the...

RE: attach label to a pin as a 'children'
Your code doesn't the variable cv anywhere, so you're reliant on that having been set (and set correctly) before you hit the bindkey. Simplest solution is to put the line: cv=X~>cellView before the...

RE: spectre solver for veriloga
Hi Yuanqi, One thought that occurred to me - how many points are in the PWL file, and is it a representation of a (say) pulse train - i.e. with discrete points with sharp transitions, or is it a...

RE: spectre solver for veriloga
Hi Andrew, It's indeed a pulse train and more than thousands of points, we used vpwlf before but doesn't have this allbrkpts option. I will try with vsource again, before that may I ask what does this...

RE: spectre solver for veriloga
Hi Yuanqi, For pulse sources and PWL sources with fewer than 20 points, a "breakpoint" is added at each point in the file. This tells the simulator that there's (potentially) a discontinuity at that...

Dear Saloni, I was told to do PSS analysis instead of DC analysis to compute power dissipation. After that I followed the steps you suggested: Outputs -> To be saved. Then selected subcircuits from...
