Title: Different netlist produced from spectre & spectreS Post by kamesh419 on May 20th, 2005, 8:12am Dear all, Why is it that the netlist produced for Spectre and SpectreS different for the same design and in what way they are different ? Thanks and Regards, Kamesh. |
Title: Re: Different netlist produced from spectre & Post by Ken Kundert on May 20th, 2005, 12:12pm SpectreS is the remnants of an ancient hack in which a parameterized netlist was generated for CadenceSpice, which evaluated all the expressions and produced a new netlist for Spectre will all parameters removed. This was a very complicated affair that involved partially flattening the design. It should have been removed from Artist years ago. I recommend that you completely ignore SpectreS. -Ken |
Title: Re: Different netlist produced from spectre & Post by kamesh419 on May 23rd, 2005, 8:27am Thanks Ken for your reply. I am trying to use Spectre now but I have the following problem. I am trying to simulate a design. All works well with "spectreS" simulator, but when it comes to "spectre" then I get an error. Quote:
I am using XFAB 0.6u technology and the folder xc06 corresponds to that. I have checked that the library file xc06.scs file indeed does not exist. Why is it that it works well with "spectreS" and not with "spectre". How could i make my design work for "spectre"? I am new to cadence. Thanks in advance, Kamesh |
Title: Re: Different netlist produced from spectre & Post by kamesh419 on May 23rd, 2005, 10:15am I have just checked out the documentaion for X-FAB. It has a link to "X-FAB supported Design Programs". Here is the link to the screenshot. http://www.aisl.cyd.liu.se/temp/screen.jpg Unfortunately "spectre" is no where to be found there. But i could find "spectreS". So i guess i have to work with spectreS. Any suggestions. |
