hi jideguzi, Just try to increase your pwl last time stamp to 14n and your problem will be solved. Actually some mathematics of parameters is resulting in *_r variables to 13.09..ns which is more than the next time time stamp. regards, Pratap jideguzi wrote: > hi all > > I created a PWL source in my main circuit but when I run the netlist with > hspice, it gives me error: **error** piecewise source 0:vdh > not increasing in time >I have tried many ways to modified it, but failed! >is there anybody meet the same problem like that? who can tell me where I am >making a mistake? > > >my netlist codes: > .tran 0.001n 18n UIC sweep DATA=INPUT_RAMP >options autostop accurat runlvl >ic v(dh)=vdd >........ >param ckramp_l='9n-ckramp/2*1.25' >param ckramp_r='9n+ckramp/2*1.25' >param inramp_l='mid-inramp/2*1.25' >param inramp_r='mid+inramp/2*1.25' >....... > >vsel sel 0 pwl (0n vdd 'ckramp_l' vdd 'ckramp_r' 0 13n 0) >vdh dh 0 pwl (0n vdd 'inramp_l' vdd 'inramp_r' 0 13n 0) > >DATA INPUT_RAMP > inramp ckramp mid > 0.015n 0.015n 13n > 0.015n 0.015n 9n > 0.015n 0.015n 5n >ENDDATA > > > >------------------------------------------------------------------ >To unsubscribe from si-list: >si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field > >or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: >//www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list > >For help: >si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field > > >List technical documents are available at: > http://www.si-list.net > >List archives are viewable at: > //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list >or at our remote archives: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages >Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: > http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu > > > > > -- Pratap Narayan Singh MMC-IPD/Analog Mixed Signal ST Microelectronics India Plot No. 1, Knowledge Park III, Greater Noida Tina Ext: 3790 ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
