How to enable psfxl output with AMS sim in ADE L?

greatqs
I'm using AMS simulation thru ADE L in IC615.500.10 and want to enable psfxl format as transient output which is claimed to be supported. But I don't found any check box or selection in Outputs - Save All form.

Anyone knows how to enable psfxl? Thanks!

  • Hi greatqs

    You can enable psfxl format for AMS designer as follows:

    a. In ADE-L, go to "Simulation->Options->Analog(Spectre)"
    b. Select "Miscellaneous" tab
    c. Add "rawfmt=psfxl" in "Additional Arguments"

    Best regards

  • Quek,

     Thanks for the tip. But I'm getting below warning after adding "rawfmt=psfxl" in the AMS simulation as you mentioned. And ViVA trace info indicates the transient simulation waveform is still in SST2 format. It looks like this option doesn't work.

     Warning from spectre.
        WARNING (SPECTRE-16707): Only tran supports psfxl format, result of other
            analyses will be in psfbin format.

    Thanks,

    greatqs

  • Hi greatqs

    You can ignore the warning. It should actually be an info message and not warning. I just tested it using ncsim 11.10-s058 and IC615-500-12 and can successfully generate a tran.tran.tran file in the "psf" results directory. Would you please check again to see if you have made any mistakes in the setup?

    Thanks
    Quek
