Running AMS simulation on multiple Std. cell

Nasser Arif
Nasser Arif over 6 years ago

HI Experts,

Needs some suggestion to automate the below flow, ( or may be you can suggest some better way)

Suppose we have multiple cell for inverters, and we have created respective function model of those cells.

We are ruing AMS simulation to verify the models, ( creating config view and running simulation)

I am looking a way to just create a one TB for inverter and it can run simulation for all inv flavor.

I have the amsDMV flow based on simulation results to verify the model correctness.

 Thanks,

Nasser

    Nasser,

    If you're doing a command line simulation, this would be easy. Simply have this in  your netlist:

    `MYINV I1(.z(n2),.a(n1));

    (appropriate pin names and net names as makes sense in your testbench). Then you can do:

    xrun -define MYINV=INV1 ...

    or

    xrun -define MYINV=INV2 ...

    i.e. define the macro on the command line to name the cell being instantiated. That's how I'd do it, anyway.

    Regards,

    Andrew
