allennlowaton,
From the calibre menu go to OUTPUTS and change output format to calibreview.
"run HSpice from ADE" i mean to launch Analog Design Environment from Virtuoso schematic editor(Tools->Analog Enviromnment).

Try to check your cadence results whith a program for calculating the loop parameters (ADSimpll from Analog devices), or EasyPLL Loop Filter Design Tool from national semiconductor.

Ayyanar M ,
I have simulated your loop with next parameters:
PFD freq=20MHz C1=130pF (standing alone), C2=3pF, R=12k, VCO gain is 1.78GHz/V, I=20uA, Fvco=500MHz
The phase margin of your loop is about 1-2 degree!!!
Recalculate your loop filter.
Best reguards,

Ayyanar M , hi!
its look like your loop is unstable.
PFD frequency is 20MHz? C-R-C filter is used? If yes, which value of R?
Really VCO gain is 1.7GHz/V ?? Its so much.

allennlowaton,
From calibre pex choose the output netlist format as calibreview instead of hspice. after that virtuoso schematic will be generated. Then run hspice from ADE and select interested current.
if there is no possibility to change the format of the PEX netlist, you have to select (in...

terebin4,
It's a translation of schematics and layuots from one PDK to another
How this can be done.?
- Read Virtuoso Layout Migrate User Guide from Cadence.

igorbog,
If there is no documentation on PDK,
The simple way to choose better capacitor- is to perform parasitic extraction by Calibre/Assura end check extracted netlist for parasitic capacitance.

ASHUTOSH RANE,
After tarnsient simulation you have to do direct plot differential output signal from Results->directPlot-Transient->transient difference
Than you can deriviate this expression to calculate slew rate of differential output.
Or use this expression in cadence command line...
urn,
You need to perform ac-simulation with specified ac value in suply voltage source. then you plot output curent. This Value is PSSR [A/Volts]
