Static Capacitor Check (static_capacitor)
Description
Reports all capacitors within or outside the range of cmin and cmax. It can also generate a distribution list of all the capacitors in a circuit.
If the type parameter is set to range, all capacitors outside the range of cmin and cmax will be reported. If the type parameter is set to print, all capacitors between cmin and cmax will be reported. In the report, the capacitor names can be sorted by clicking on the Device name header in a Web browser.
If the type parameter is set to distr, a distribution list will be generated for all capacitors. There are a maximum of 9 bins:
-Inf - 0, 0 - 10a, 10a - 100a, 100a - 1f, 1f - 10f, 10f - 100f, 100f - 1p, 1p - 10p, and 10p - Inf
However, if two or more consecutive bins are empty, they will merge into one bin, reducing the number of bins. If type is set to distr, the parameters cmin, cmax, and error_limit are ignored.
The results are written to the static.xml file, which can be viewed in a Web browser. This check is supported only by XPS and APS.
