AMS-ADE multiple sdf command files

mooi
mooi over 13 years ago

 Hi All,

I am running mixed-signal simulation and in my design I have 3 digital blocks.

For each digital block I have a .sdf file, a .sdf.X file & a .cmd file.
In AMS-ADE=>Simulation=>Options=>Compiler=>Use sdf command file I can put the sdf command file for one digital block.

How can I proceed to select the 3 sdf command files during the simulation?

    Hello, I have the same problem! Is there anyone that managed to load multiple sdf command files?

    I think you either need to combine your SDF command files into one file (an SDF command file can annotate several SDF files onto different parts of the hierarchy - there are examples of this in the SDF Annotation flow for AMS Simulations from Virtuoso ADE RAK on  and also in the INCISIVE documentation.

    The alternative is probably to use the "Additional Arguments" field to explicitly enter the -sdf_cmd_file arguments yourself (you can enter one through the main UI, but the additional arguments through this field).

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thank you very much Andrew!

    In the RAK you recommended I found the file MySDF in the attachments that indeed combines 3 sdf files.

    Regards,
