the sample library in dfII

minci

hi,there

i have added the rfLib library which located in $CDS/tools/dfII/samples/artist directory to the ic5141 usr6 through library manager.

 But when i add the balun_com instance to the schematic,and start the simulation in the ADE,it gives the error message as below:

ERROR: Netlister: unable to descend into any of the views defined in the view list: "spectre cmos_sch cmos.sch schematic veriloga ahdl" for instance I4 in cell test_pre.

Either add one of these views to: Library: rfLib Cell: balun_com or modify the view list to contain an existing view.

End netlisting Apr 10 16:10:18 2010

 

why does this occur?

BTW,where can i find the manuals about the libraries(i.e,rfLib,analogLib....) including in the ic5141? Coz there are many functions of instances i dont know about them.

  • Hi minci

    Does your balun_com cell has a "veriloga" view? What version of spectre are you using?

    terminal>spectre -W

    You can find out more about analogLib cells at $CDSHOME/doc/analoglibref/analoglibref.pdf

    You can also read the veriloga codes for the cells to understand how they work. In case you are not aware, the following 2 libraries are also quite useful:

    DEFINE ahdlLib $CDSHOME/tools/dfII/samples/artist/ahdlLib
    DEFINE bmslib $CDSHOME/tools/dfII/samples/artist/bmslib

    hi Quek i am using ic5141 usr6 with mmsim72 ,and the balun_cell has a veriloga view in the library manager.

    thanks for the pdf information.

  • Minci,

    Looking at the rfLib library in IC5141 USR6, the veriloga directories are there for balun_com and balun_ideal, but the files within are missing. I found what is probably a related CCR to fix some other cells in the rfLib, and certainly they're there in the latest IC5141 hotfix.

    So that's why the problem occurs.

    rfLib is documented in the MMSIM72 (it's in the IC5141 manual too, but the documentation is  more current in MMSIM72). You should be able to find it in cdnshelp under SpectreRF in the Virtuoso Spectre Circuit Simulator RF Analysis Library Reference manual. Or <MMSIM72>/doc/rflibrary/rflibrary.pdf .

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  •  thanks, Andrew.

    indeed,there is no file in the veriloga directory.i got it
