ncsim error during circuit read-in - AMS running from HED
Feb 16^th, 2009, 5:00pm

My design is elaborating ok, but after ncsim launches the simulation never begins and the following error is in my ncsim.log

Error found by spectre during circuit read-in.
test_TOP.IADC.IO.I33.IPULL: error in evaluating parameter 1.

spectre terminated prematurely due to fatal error.

_______________________________--

I've looked through the verilog.ams netlists for cell I33 (which instantiates IPULL) and IPULL and not seeing anything with a parameter named, or set to, 1. I also looked at the properties in the schematic and haven't found anything.

anyone know where I might look for more information about what's causing spectre to stop?

This may be a CDF parseAsNumber issue - see sourcelink solution 11086400. Regards, Andrew.

sure, of course, following is the instantiation line. I will check the sourcelink solution you mentioned.

Thanks!
Andres

(the instance line didn't reveal much, other than that there were no parameters). Regards, Andrew.
