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

     Why can't it be used for simulation? From the command line, using this in a spectre netlist:

    ahdl_include "mymodel.va.vap" 

    works fine. If you want it to be in a veriloga view inside  a Virtuoso library, there's nothing to stop you renaming the ".vap" to "veriloga.va" - it will still work OK. There's nothing special about this .vap suffix.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
