Hello,

I'm busy trying to find a easy way to vary parameters within my schematic during monte-carlo analysis by the use of veriloga-models. I tried to used the functions $random or $rdist_normal, but those seem not to vary throughout the different iterations, in a DC simulation I get a peak at a varying value but no standard deviation.

I read that $arandom or newer versions of rdist_normal support this feature, but my version of mmsim does neither accept more than 3 parameters for rdist_normal nor recognize $arandom as a function name.

If anybody could help me with this topic it would be great!

Best Regards,
Novaris
 

Cadence wants to sell you a Monte Carlo license, so don't rule out
malice....

In cdsSpice we used to use gauss() and track() functions.
Never peeled the lid off Spectre MC setup when I had the chance.
 

Well, I use the Monte-Carlo Interface but Spectre is only varying process and mismatch data within the models but no user-defined variables like a supply voltage or biasing current. You can select one parameter in the list but this ends up in a sweep, no gaussian variation.

It would be nice to have the possibility to add a block/source, which is changing its value during a monta-carlo run every iteration, but not during the simulation (DC, AC, TRAN) itself.

Added after 2 hours 54 minutes:

Finally i found a solution by writing my own scs file. thanks anyway for your time :)
