Title: delay function in Verilog-A
Post by driveforce on Nov 3^rd, 2005, 4:31pm

Hi, All,

I tried to instance a spectre primitives as following:
vsource #(.type("pwl"), .file("data.txt"), .delay(-0.2), .offset(0.5)) v1(plus, minus);

an error said "delay" is an reserved name for simulator library function. And I checked the parameter of vsource by "spectre -h vsource", delay is one of its parameters. so how to realize the dealy function here?

Anyone can help me?

Thanks a lot,
-driveforce

You need to escape the reserved word:

Code:

vsource #(.type("pwl"), .file("data.txt"), .\delay (-0.2), .offset(0.5)) v1(a, b);

Note, you need to make sure there is a space at the end of the escaped word - after an escape (\) in Verilog/Verilog-A/Verilog-AMS, all characters are escaped up until the next space.

Regards,

Andrew.
