Accessing signal values during simulation
Jun 22nd, 2007, 1:26am
 
Hi all,

Is it possible to access voltage of a node, or current through a branch during simulation of a circuit using SpectreVerilog. I have heard about ocean interface, which allows post processing of simulated data. But is it possible to do the processing during the simulation.

Design is fun, verification is a requirement.

The only thing i could tell You, is that such a feature is now being realized in frames of CAD system AVOCAD, where You could see simulation resilts while You simulating (simulator AVOSpice+ postprocessor AVOProbe). Also  i know, that thos program package is relatively cheap.

Good luck!

Hi,

what do you mean with accessing signals? It is possible to write a VerilogAMS model to monitor a current and e.g. write a error message to a log file.

Radjeep,

  Since you said that you wanted to process signals, here are
several ways to process signals while the simulation is running.

1) Add an element to the circuit to process the signal, for
   example, using a vcvs to create a differential signal from
   two single-ended signals

    for ADE users
2) Just use the ADE marching waveforms and do the processing
   in the waveform calculator. For example, when simulating
   a PLL, use the "freq" function to track whether the PLL locks
   or not.

   for Spectre RF-Simulink users
3) Use co-simulation and do the processing in Simulink

                                                           Best Regards,

                                                               Sheldon

Radjeep,

  One clarification, Spectre RF - Simulink co-simulation only supports
transient and envelope following analysis.

                                                            Best Regards,

                                                              Sheldon
