Course Description
In this course, you use the mixed-signal, mixed-language Spectre® AMS Designer Simulator and Xcelium™ mixed signal capabilities. You use the command-line based Xcelium use model that uses the xrun executable.
You are introduced to the mixed-signal simulation and debugging capabilities of the SimVision™ tool that allows you to view interactive waveforms.
In the text-based command-line flow, you use different control files and control cards in sync with a single-step xrun command.
You also discuss SystemVerilog and other HDL testbench reuse and bus mapping.
For verifying designs, you learn the interoperability across SystemVerilog, SystemC and the AMS Designer.
Finally, the AMS Designer support for the Common Power Format (CPF) and IEEE 1801 Unified Power Format (UPF) are discussed.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Learn discipline resolution and connect rules/connect modules usage that is required for mixed-signal interface translations
- Simulate mixed-signal designs with the Spectre AMS Designer/Xcelium mixed-signal simulators using command-line control
- Learn to run simulations and debug them using the SimVision Interactive debugger
- Simulate with a single-step xrun command, learn to use its associated control files
- Use the Unified Power Format (UPF) and the Common Power Format (CPF) to insert power smart connect modules
- Apply verification flows using SystemVerilog and SystemC
