Asserts PSF results and Spectre APS

raduionescu

Hello,

I have a skill script that reads some data for each device from the asserts psf results post spectre simulation e.g. pv("Dev_path_assert" "property" ?result "asserts") .

On large projects the Spectre APS is used for obvious speed related issues. My problem is that, among the optimization done by APS, in the asserts psf results, if there are many identical MOS in the project e.g. same width / length / multiplier , only one is placed in the results. Does anyone know if there is any setting in Explorer (that can be done via skill code) to tell the Spectre APS to save all assert results (all devices) without affecting other optimizations like the tran results, basically without significantly damaging the speed gains from APS? I did not seem to find it myself in the documentation. Thank you.

Regards,

Radu
