Title: ams simulation: how to use this file which includes all views of the cells
Post by xuedashun on Jan 26^th, 2012, 9:16am

I have a digital block which uses many logic gates. All of the gates are in
one of my libraries, but there are only symbol views and no verilog views
there.

The verilog views of all of the logic gates are in one file. I don't know how
to import the views to individual cells. Is it possible to just use this single
file for the gates to run the ams simulation?

Thank you!

Hi there,
I assume you're using Virtuoso?
In which case, there's a good Cadence tutorial (not available in public domain, search it on cadence support website) on how to set up config views for AMS sims.
If I'm right, what you're looking for is something like shown in the attached pic.
Open your adexl test editor:
Go to Simulation> Options > AMS Simulator

----------

In that window:
Include paths - should point to the directory which has all your verilog views
Similarly, specify lib files (foundry libs)
---------------
Let me know how you got on?
