removing lines from DSPF file will use schematic alternative lines?

Pirate King

When including DSPF file in Simulation Files Setup and using schematic in config as the forum recommends is it possible to remove some device lines from the DSPF file and the schematic alternatives would be netlisted?  Or does the DSPF file completely override the schematic in the config? This could be very useful when diagnosing which device stress effect is damaging the previous schematic results.

  • When using a DSPF file on the simulation files form, the DSPF content is used entirely and nothing (other than the pin order) is used from the schematic subckt. It’s not using a stitching approach (such stitching does exist in spectre, but it’s not that commonly used and there’s no UI for it in ADE) - the reason being that stitching is complex, and hard to be complete - plus it can take a significant time to perform. So you are really getting everything from the DSPF file.
