ADE output for conditional string from input logic combination

StephanWeber
StephanWeber 7 months ago

Hi,

I would like to make to ADE setup and testbench more descriptive. E.g. I sweep the variables EN and Idle 0 to 1 in a corner, so 4 combinations:

      corner_Modes

EN    0 1

Idle   0 1

Note: This might be also don in a sweep, instead of within corner setup.

I would then like to have a string as ADE output too, like 00 gives "off", 11="on", 10="idle" and 01="prep-idle".
 
Is this possible directly as ADE output?

A workaround would be to introduce a string variable and to split the corner into 4 and define the string variable in the corner as separate row.

But this would not work for sweeps, only for parametric sets, and with higher add. effort.
 

I am no skill expert, but I think for an expert it should be easy and it makes the results table easier to interpret. E.g if Idd output is >1mA and string variable = "off", than I can immediately see something if wrong..

So what I need is creating a function output  from an input logic combination.

It would be also super-flexible for other things, like if specifications also depend on logic mode.

Bye Stephan
