verilogA encryption for spectre

Fabb
Fabb over 11 years ago

Hello,

 

I would like to encrypt a compact analog model written in verilogA and executed with spectre and ultrasim.

In the spectre doc, I found that a netlist could be encrypted wtih

spectre_encrypt [-i input_file] [-o output_file] [-all]

but what about a verilogA file?

 Regards,

 

Fabrice

    Hi Fabrice

    You cannot use spectre_encrypt on a veriloga file. You will need to use ncprotect. Would you please refer to COS article 11203304 for more details?
    unix> ncprotect -extension vap -language vlog -autoprotect mymodule.va

    The above command will encrypt the "mymodule.va" file and create a new encrypted file called "mymodule.va.vap".



    Best regards
    Quek
