Title: Invoke debussy in cadence ?
Post by cirand on Aug 1^st, 2006, 1:50am

can i use debussy instead of simvision to watch the digital signal when i run the mixed signal circuit ? the simulator is spectreVerilog.

I think Novas nWave (Debussy) is able to read in Simvision *.trn files, but I'm
not quite sure.
Why don't you just try it?

I have tried, the debussy can convert the hspice .tr* file to .fsdb file, but it can not read the spectre .trn file.

spectre can write out fsdb files, but I don't think Verilog-XL can (which is what is used in spectreVerilog). It may be possible using a PLI/VPI shared library provided by Novas?

I don't think that SST2 (the format that is used in simvision) is public, so I'm not aware of third party waveform tools being able to read it.

spectreVerilog can also write out WSF (a pretty old public format), but I'd be surprised if any other waveform viewers bothered to support it these days.
