Difference corner and montecarlo simulations

[olzanin]

Hello,

what is the difference between corner and montecarlo simulations?

Thanks,

Olzanin

corner doesn't include mismatch information, montecarlo does.

Things got mashed up.

You can have corners and monte-carlo for process as well as mismatch!

Yield is typical simulated by monte-carlo. Corner simulation verify if your circuit work up to specification in an unlikely process parameter corner.

The same approach is applicable to process mismatch. You can have a corner made of an individual instance or vary all relevant instances at all by distributions.

rfsystem,

I agree with your first sentence

Yield is typical simulated by monte-carlo. Corner simulation verify if your circuit work up to specification in an unlikely process parameter corner.

But I don't understand the last one.
I never run monte-carlo simulation at corners because this is not realistic at all. Can you please explain in a better way if I'm wrong ?

Thanks
