Accessing a net from top level

Pramod
Hi All, I am using this forum for the first time though i have been using Cadence tools for sometime. I have a very basic question...(somebody might have already asked it) I have a GOLDENschematic for which I want to built a test bench in ADE.For this I built a schematic and instantiated the GOLDEN schematic in that.I added all the required stimuli for the pins available externally (through the GOLDEN symbol).Now my issue is that i need to add access a node(net) inside the GOLDEN schematic and want to put a current source on that.I don't want to change anything in GOLDEN.I tried to put the current source and label the net attached to it with . but this didn't work.While netlisting I could observe that the spectre was netlisting it like _. Can anybody guide me here,hope I am clear. Thanks, Pramod

  • Hi Andrew, :-( Oh...my bad...I was trying the exactly same think which you were explaining. But due to my mistake i was labelling the instance as IO instead of I0 (Izero). This was causing me to fail the purpose.I could see it was working well with the test schematic (testit) provided with the sourcelink bundle. Anyway things are working fine for me now. Thanks a lot for the help! Looking forward for more. Pramod LSI Corp
