deepprobe with AMS

swdesigner over 14 years ago

Is there any way to get the solution 11017972 - accessing a lower level net from the top-level - to work with AMS?

Andrew Beckett over 14 years ago

Are you using the cell-based netlister or OSS in AMS in ADE?

Needs a bit of thought - sorry, hadn't had a chance to look into this from your earlier question (I created the solution you're referring to).

Regards,

Andrew

I'm working through the ADE - so I guess it's cell-based?

If you're using ADE it could be either. If using the "plugin" flow from the hierarchy editor, then it would only be cell-based.

In ADE, go to Simulation->Netlist and Run options and see what it says.

With OSS, it may just work (I'd have to try though) but for Cell-Based it would definitely need some customization.

Are you using IC5141 or IC614?

Andrew

Running with default, I have "Cellivew-based netlister with ncvlog, ncelab, ncsim" checked. I didn't even know about these options and what they mean.
I tried OSS, but it fails elaboration for another reason - complains about too many module parameters being passed to the verilog modules.

I'm on 5.10.41.500.6.143

Thanks!

Any clues here? If I get a lead, I might be able to create the workaround myself - I guess I'd have to modify deepprobe.il and cdsinfo.tag?
As I use AMS intensively, it would really help my productivity.
Thanks!

Apologies - just been a lack of time for me to do my normal job as well as write the custom netlisting procedure needed for this to work in AMS Cellbased. It's completely different from the custom netlisting procedure used for spectre, so it's just a matter of me having the time to do this. Probably best to be done via a service request anyway.

Andrew.

I've been working with the AE who is handling this SR, and I managed to find some time to come up with some code to get the deeprobe to netlist OK for AMS (with the Cell Based Netlister). Once he has checked this out with you, I'll update the solution on Cadence Online Support to include the additional information.
Best Regards,
Andrew.

That would super. I depend heavily on AMS...
Thanks!
