dc analysis

Hi all

I encountered a strange problem during a DC analysis in Cadence. 'x' is a variable in my circuit. The output of my circuit should be 0V for x=1 (for any vin =[-0.2 0.2]).

a) When I simulate the circuit for x=1;
and print the output DC node voltage, it reads -690mV
b) When I sweep the variable 'x' (including x=1 in the sweep) and plot the output node voltage, I actually see something close to 30uV (which is close to 0)

I do not understand if my circuit is operating right or I have to go about making some changes considering the first voltage. I am confused as to which one of these is trustworthy. Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Sometimes DC analysis is not trustworthy! You may run the transient analysis to check if your circuit work normally.
