Default (or script) ADE Stimuli

meland

Hello All,

I am wondering if there is a way to either alter the default ADE stimuli or change it through script. I would prefer if all of my stimuli would default to a 0v DC source which is enabled. 

I suspect that this is done in some way through the asi function calls in the ADE L Skill reference manual, but I'm not able to figure it out. I have some level of skill experience, but I have never skill scripted anything with the ADE.

I work in both cadence 5.1.41 and 6.1.5, but if there is not an easy method for cadence 5 that is fine.

Perhaps my overall approach is flawed though and there is a better way of doing what I want. My overall goal is to more easily set up and test at higher levels where there are potentially hundreds of stimuli. I haven't found a way which works well for doing this. Going through and editing one by one is quite tedious. I tried vector files, but I couldn't do anything bigger than a 4 bit bus . I had issues scripting a general stimuli file (An issue I had scripting the two of these was getting cadence to return the pins with the buses expanded and keeping reference to the pin direction). I could also do AMS, but I do not know an easy way to set up AMS and have never gone down that road. Note, I do not have an ncverilog license available

Some direction on how to go about this would be great.

Thanks,

-Matt

     SOLVED:

     A solution has been provided for the above request by Amit Sanadhya  at Cadence under case# 45471469

    "

    Please try following:

     

    1. 1. Load below code in CIW.

     

    ;; ==== from below ====

     

    procedure(CCSStimuliOptions()

    let((formId)

        formId = hiGetCurrentForm()

        foreach(choice formId~>artStmBox~>choices

           formId->artStmBox->value = list(choice)

           formId->artStmEnabled->value = t

           formId->artStmTranType->value = "sin"

           formId->dc->value = "2"

           artStmChangeCB(formId)

        );foreach

    t

    ) ;let

    ) ;proc

     

    ;; ==== till above ====

     

    2.2.  Open the  “Setup Analog Stimuli” form (Setup->Stimuli…)

    3    3.  Enter following in CIW => CCSStimuliOptions()

    "

    This solution works exactly as I was hoping. (note the above creates a sine source with dc of 2v, but is easily modified for a dc source of 0v)

    Thanks to all,
