Corner Simulations using ADE XL

  • Select Launch tab in the schematic.
    • Select ADE XL.
    • Select Create New View and then OK.
  • Once you have created a new ADE XL window view, go to the Data View window and select Tests.
    • Clcik Add Test.
    • Setup the tests, model files, variables and outputs in the ADE L window.
    • Added tests (etc.) should appear under Tests in Data View window.
  • In the Data View window, select Corners.
    • Click Add Corner.
    • Click Add Model File.
      • Click Import from Test.
      • Add other model files if needed.
    • Click Add new corner.
      • Click section and set the desired corner for the model files.
      • Rename the added test to match corner simulation (Optional).
    • Repeat the above for all corner tests.
    • Click OK.
    • Added corners should appear under Corners in Data View window.

Note: You need to select the models that you are going to use by checking the corresponding box in the column of the corner.

  • Run the simulation.
  • To plot the results:
    • Right click on graph symbol corresponding to the parameter you wish to plot.
    • Select Plot Across Corners.
