Simulating OpenAcess design using spectre

frasheed

Hello,

I am new to circuit simulation. I want to do post layout simulation for that I need to run spectre simulation on my design.

I want to ask that do I need extracted view to run post layout simulation ?

If I want to measure the frequency what should commands should I use in my include in my testcase ?

Any basic tutorial to post layout simulation will also be appreciated 

Thanks

  • Yes, you need to extract the layout using some extraction engine (QRC?) to create an extracted view. From this, a netlist view is created which is given to the simulator. The PDK should include an extraction deck for your engine.
