Loading a netlist for simulation

MohamedMohie

Dear Expert,

I'm simulating a big design "FPGA tile" and I'm looking for calculating the leakage power, so I found in the simulation directory the "input.scs" file which is gets simulated by spectre in ADE L . So, I decided to change the gate voltage in this file to all transistors to be zero so I can calculate the leakage current, but now, I have a new "say input1.scs" file with the gate voltage of zero.

My question is, How can I instruct spectre "or ADE L " to simulate this new .scs file ? in other words, If I have a standalone netlist for example, how could I upload it to the simulator and enforce the simulator to only consider this netlist, Not to netlist the design and RUN but itself but just use the loaded netlist and run?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

    Hi Andrew, I'm afraid I didn't get exactly what you mean by "state where nothing should be active" .. can you give me an example if you please? ... Thanks
