Parameterizing model section

NickA

I'm using a model library with multiple sections for different process corners, and would like to be able to flip between them with a variable in ADE-L, without resorting to ADE-XL. Is there a way I can write a model wrapper file to do this, something like...

     if (case==0)

        include "model.scs" section=typ

     else if (case==1) 

         include "model.scs" section=slow

     else if (case==2) 

         include "model.scs" section=fast

     etc

Thanks,

Nick

    Nick,

    The if statement in spectre is a structural if - which means that you have to have instances in the body of the if statement. So you can't really do what you're suggesting.

    However, if you move to ADE Explorer, which is the upgrade path from ADE L (ADE L will be end-of-sale next year, so it's wise to move anyway), that supports corners in an ADE-L like single-test environment anyway. So that would be my recommendation rather than trying to invent another way to do this.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
