    Maximum voltage on PCI adjacent pins on PCB

    Hello, I would like to plan a test PCB with multiple components that will interface to automatic tester with PCI edge connector. Since I would like to conduct test of up to 300VDC, I want to know what is the maximum voltage allowed between 2 adjacent PCI edge connector on PCB? How is it...

    BOM/part manager issue with Orcad CIS

    Hello, I attached the pics. 1 of the schematic and the second of the part manager that shows wht happens when I try to access the part on the schematic.

    BOM/part manager issue with Orcad CIS

    I tried to it but it didn't work. This is very simple PCB, so I see no problem in using occurrences. The only issue is how to "force" the CIS (part manager & BOM) to separate between the occurrences and don't treat the capacitors as multi-part package. Does anyone has an idea?

    BOM/part manager issue with Orcad CIS

    Hello, I'm trying to convert old PCB to newer version of Orcad. The old PCB was not created with CIS version. The issue I have is reference designators. In the old design, there were blocks of capacitors that were numbered as: A1-1, A1-2.....A1-16 B1-1, B1-2...B2-16 etc.... In the part manager...

    making parameter dependent on time in Virtuoso

    Hi, I want to make model parameter to be dependent on time, for example resistor resistivity to be function of time. Is there elegant way to do it? Thanks...

    change model parameter in Cadence Virtuoso

    Thanks for your reply. But I'm doing this for research purpose so I'm using PTM spice file as my model library, and not a complete Virtuoso PDK from a real manufacturer. Is there a way to make parametric analysis on a model parameter? (i.e. to make the sweep on my model parameter). Thanks

    change model parameter in Cadence Virtuoso

    Hi, I created some ring oscillator structure in cadence virtuoso. I want to test the sensitivity of the frequency to change in the threshold voltage of the transistors. How can I create parametric analysis to show this (i.e. frequency vs. Vth graph) ? Thanks!

    use Binary adder as subtractor

    OK ... I tried it. when I did the "+1" in Cin it didn't work fine( wrong values) . When i tried it with different adders it worked fine.

    use Binary adder as subtractor

    Hi , I created ppa 8 bit adder (simulation) and now I want to use it as comparator (=~ subtractor). I know that the logic equation for subtractor is: S=A+B'+1. in my adder I have carry in bit. can I use it to be the "+1" , in the subtraction equation? Thanks...

    Wierd Ring Oscillator problem

    Hi, I created ring oscillator simulation in Cadence Virtuoso . the ring is made of : INVERTER >>INVERTER >>NAND3>>NOR>>INVERTER I pull one of the NOR's gate input to gnd , and 2 of the NAND inputs to vdd so the gates will behave as inverters . I have some very weird problem with my design ...

    Hierarchy question in cadence virtuoso

    Thanks again for your answers... I use spectre simulation with spice model files from PTM. I didn't find any user guide with explanations on how to that ? What kind of simulation should I do ? Where to put the probes to find out the different leakage currents? some more questions : 8-O I...

    Hierarchy question in cadence virtuoso

    Hi, I created hierarchy in Virtuoso 6.1.x I created the transistors from scratch , I mean my basic cell is just a transistor with pins because I want to simulate my basic transistor with some more adjustments to leakage currents and some reliability issues , and than I built my architecture...

    simulation error in cadence virtuoso tech file related ( probably)

    Hi , For university project , I used PTM spice model model for 45 nm technology. when I left the width and length of the transistors empty . The results were not good but ths simulation ran fine . after I tried inserting values ( let say L=45n , w=45nm) I got the error : the parameter `xgl`...
