Problem with SepctreHDL and ahdl.def

riccart

Hi everyone,

Does anyone can help me to fix this problem.

I am trying to simulate my A2D and I am using the verilog file ''dac_10bit_ideal'' and ''sah_ideal''  from library ''ahdlLib'', but I have this Error.

FATAL (VACOMP-2095): File 'ahdl.def' does not appear to be a valid

Verilog-A file. In previous releases, 'ahdl.def' was a typical file name
for the SpectreHDL view of a component in the Virtuoso Analog Design Environment
but the software no longer supports SpectreHDL.

Thanks for your help !!

    SpectreHDL has been obsolete for many years now, and eventually MMSIM dropped support for altogether (to avoid having to maintain the obsolete code).

    Use the veriloga views in ahdlLib instead of the ahdl views. That will work - and will have worked for many, many, years.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
