Anyone access to the latest version of StarSimXT from Avant!

[edaguy69]

Does it support mix-level simulation yet. how does it compare with Hsim?
Thanks

For my experience, starsim only support transistor level simulation. It can't do mixed spice and verilog simulation. However, you can translate the verilog gate level netlist to transisor level by some tools.

That's an old story. Two years ago, they announced that they will support mix-level simulation with some common verilog. That's why I ask. Most simulation tools now have that feature: Hsim. Nanosim, MachTA...

I don't know the current version of starsim. In the case of HSIM 2.0, it required you to translate the verilog netlist to spice before doing simulation. May be other tools do it automaticly. I believe for accurate simulation, verilog netlist must be translate to the spice model.

Synopsys will not develop this tools.

NanoSim and MachTA do support mixed level simluation.
NanoSim can link to VCS by verilog PLI, MachTA can link to Advanced MS with ModelSim for mixed spice/HDL sim, too.
