Varying Parameters during a Cadence Transient Analysis – Dynamic Parameters and Feeding Final Conditions into Initial Conditions

Research Links

• Virtuoso Spectre Circuit Simulator Reference –  Dynamic Parameters during Transient Analysis  See page 301.  This only allows 1 parameter to be varied per run.   See first image below.
• Virtuoso ADE L User Guide

Click on the option button to get to the windows where you specify the file to read the circuit initial conditions.

The state file tab has the spectre.fc file specified which is the file that stores the final conditions after a simulation.

When you go to the "Algorithm" tab you can specify a file with your circuit initial conditions.  For my transient analysis optimizations of charge pumps I wanted to pick up from where the circuit analysis left off with a component value changed.  Thus I feed the spectre.fc file into the readic file.
