Re: .MEAS syntax with variable parameters

I'm no expert in this area, but expressions within { } are evaluated before simulation, which is not what you want, of course. What if you use ordinary ( ) instead?

I¡¯m frustrated by failure of a time measurement I¡¯m trying to make.

My circuit generates a pulse train with parameterized width, Pw.

I want to measure a delay, from a rising edge of one node, N0, to the next rising edge of another node, Nx.

Due to a filter action, the amplitude of V(nx) is dependent upon a resistor whose value is stepped, from run to run.

Because of that, I want to make the trigger (target) amplitude a variable, say 90% of the MAX() amplitude of node Nx.

?

  1. .meas VNx MAX V(Nx) FROM {5*Pw} TO {25*Pw}
  2. .meas T1 TRIG V(N0)=2.25 TD=3u RISE=1 TARG V(Nx)=250m TD=3u RISE=1

?

Measurement 1 correctly returns a peak value from say 0.5V to 4.5V.

Measurement 2 returns a time that¡¯s too close to the stat of Rise, instead of near the peak level.

?

T1 Fails if I use this instead:

  1. .meas T1 TRIG V(N0)=2.25 TD=3u RISE=1 TARG V(Nx)={0.9*VNx} TD=3u RISE=1

?

Help??
