Spectre assert output message - printing a variable

Shico90

Hello,

Is it possible in spectre assert statement to print in the warning message a parameter or a variable?

For exmaple something like this 

pmos_vgs assert mod=pch expr="(abs(V(g,s))>1.3)" message="Maximum gate source voltage exceeded the limit %d",abs(V(g,s))) duration=0.1n

I know the message doesn't work but is there something like this?

Thanks

Sherif

    Hi Sherif,

    Don't write the expression as a condition. Instead do this:

    pmos_vgs assert mod=pch expr="abs(V(g,s))" max=1.3 message="Maximum gate source voltage exceeded the limit" duration=0.1n

    It will then show the value of the expression when it violated the min/max. Note, I didn't test this, but something along these lines should work.

    Andrew.
