Swapping in DSPF netlists using the Hierarchy Editor?

ckteng

Hi, I'm using UltraSim.

Is there a way to swap in DSPF netlists using the Cadence Hierarchy Editor so that when I netlist using ADE I get DSPF netlists for certain cells (as controlled by the Hierarchy Editor)?

The current method I'm aware of is using the Simulation -> Options -> Analog and stitching in the DSPF.

Thanks!

  • Marc,

    At the very bottom of the input.ckt file I see:

    // UltraSim ADE Specific Options (Not required for standalone simulations)
    usim_opt output_upper=0 ade=1 wf_spectre_syntax=1
    usim_opt wf_param_hier=1
    usim_opt wf_dataset=spectre
    // UltraSim Simulator Options
    include "/export/home/andrewb/workshops/mmsim141_emir_workshop/ade_mmsim_voltus_workshop/adc_sample_hold.dspf"

    The include line is coming from the HED settings. If you don't see this, which IC version are you using?

    Can you also see if there are any messages in the CIW about a valid source file being found?

    Another thing to check is to type:

    hnlSourceFileDisabled

    in the CIW. If this has been set to t then it's been disabled for some reason in your environment. You could try setting it to nil and see what happens (you may need to do netlist recreate).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
