Simulation accuracy is not a function of RELTOL setting

Filed under: Circuit Simulation, Simulation - 01 May 2008

In SPICE, RELTOL determines convergence across iterations. Why then is it being touted by Berkeley Design Automation as a means of controlling simulation accuracy? Experienced SPICE users know that RELTOL is to accuracy as grapefruit spoon is to eye surgery. …
