Simulations using ADE (G)XL

  • Create a ADE (G)XL
  • Create a Test using schematic view (Schematic view can be only used for schematic simulation. It is highly recommended to create a test using config view, which can be conveniently used for both schematic and postlayout simulation).

Parameter sweeping

  • Create a parameter sweeping in ADE L
  • Save the setup to an .il file
  • Load the parameter sweeping setup in ADE (G)XL
  • Run the simulation

Corner Simulations using ADE XL

Postlayout simulation

  • Create a config view
  • Create a test in ADE (G)XL using config view
  • Setup the simulation configurations (or, you can setup the simulation configurations for config view in ADE L and save the state. Load the saved state).
  • Setup the extract view: parasitics>setup>choose the cell to setup its schematic, estimated, an extracted view
  • Run the simulation
    • No parasitic: schematic simulation
    • Extracted: postlayout simulation
