Question On PrimeTime

[parsatt]

Hi,
Currently I am designing a fully digital circuit. However, for some reason, I have to do a montecarlo analysis on the circuit. The only way I know is to do a feed the layout from encounter to cadence and do the spice on the extracted netlist.
However, it is really slow as the spice is a powerful tool and is really heavy. I was wondering if there is any built-in mismatch analysis tool on the digital tools like prime time-.... or so I can run the monte carlo analysis?


Any help is really appreciated.

PrimeTime is only a report timing engine, you provide netlist, one timing library corner (over ...), one RC extraction (over...), and some constraint and then you report the timing/cap/trans....
You could that for various combinason of timing library/RC corner if you have this data.
In general, the timing library is the typical voltage and +/-10% for worst and best.
The RC extraction is commonly worst/best/typical.
