Automatically Export Spectre AMS-Output-Data

FloPro

Hello,

I am doing some transient mixed-signal simulations with Spectre AMS in the ADE environment, which works like intended. However, I would like to automatically export the output data which is in the psfxl format to some third party evaluation script (python / Matlab).

I know this is possible by plotting it in ViVa, selecting and exporting to csv or by selecting the format as psfascii when using normal Spectre. Is there also a way to do this with the Spectre AMS output?

I am using Cadence 6.1.8, Spectre 19.10 and Xcelium 20.9.

Kind regards,
Florian

  • Hi Florian,

    Have you considered using the Spectre Toolbox for MATLAB? This is shipped with the SPECTRE installation and is covered in <SPECTREinstDir>/bin/cdnshelp - search for MATLAB. This can directly read the PSF and PSF XL results into MATLAB and avoid you needing to translate it into another format first.

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Hello Andrew,

    Thanks for your fast answer. The toolbox indeed worked for me. Before your message I was unsure whether the toolbox could read PSFXL files, since the documentation did not say anything about it (only PSF or SST2 format).

    However, (at least for me) a python parser for psfxl directories would also be really nice thing to have.

    Kind regards,

    Florian
