Controlling Input Option CAPTAB DCCAP VFLOOR = x CONVERGE CSHDC DCFOR = x DCHOLD = x DCON = X Description Prints table of single plate nodal capacitance for diodes, BJTs, MOSFETs, JFETs and passive capacitors at each operating point. Used to generate C-V plots and to print out the capacitance values of a circuit (both model and element) during a DC analysis. Sets a lower limit for the voltages that are printed in the output listing. Invokes different methods for solving nonconvergence problems The same option as CSHUNT, but is used only with option CONVERGE. Used in conjunction with the DCHOLD option and the .NODESET statement to enhance the DC convergence properties of a simulation DCFOR and DCHOLD are used together for the initialization process of a DC analysis. In the case of convergence problems, Star-Hspice automatically sets DCON = 1 12-12 Star-Hspice Quick Reference Guide
Model Analysis Options Option DCSTEP = x DCTRAN DV = x GMAX = x GMINDC = x GRAMP = x GSHUNT ICSWEEP Description Used to convert DC model and element capacitors to a conductance to enhance DC convergence properties. DCTRAN is an alias for CONVERGE. See CONVERGE. The maximum iteration-to-iteration voltage change for all circuit nodes in both DC and transient analysis. The conductance in parallel with the current source used for .IC and .NODESET initialization conditions circuitry. A conductance that is placed in parallel with all pn junctions and all MOSFET nodes for DC analysis. Value is set by Star-Hspice during the autoconvergence procedure. Conductance added from each node to ground. For a parameter or temperature sweep, saves the results of the current analysis for use as the starting point in the next analysis in the sweep.
