Is Spectre able to simulate Verilog-AMS files?

[Johnson]

spectre language in verilog-ams

Spectre is now included in SPB16.0, is it able to simulate AMS + Spice files?

Re: Spectre

Hi,
I think you mean SPECTRA and it was part of SPB since 14.
Complete SPB package includes Allegro SI.

Wasnt Spectre the arch enemy of the men from Uncle?

No Majnoon,
I did mean Spectre which is Cadence circuit simulator. I want to know is it able to simulate Verilog-AMS files?

Re: Spectre

Hi,
This is what I could gather from Cadence documentation:

Example 8-1 Spice to DML MacroModel
[External Model]
Language SPICE
DML: (Language Tlsim) or No Language tag needed for Tlsim (default)
Verilog-AMS to DML MacroModel

The Language tag in the DML IOCell MacroModel translates to Spectre in Verilog-AMS models.

Example 8-2 Verilog-AMS to DML MacroModel
[External Model]
Language Verilog-AMS
DML: (Language Spectre)
True Differential Models in Spice and Verilog-AMS to DML MacroModel

The Language tag in the DML 8-terminal IOCell MacroModel translates to the Tlsim default in true differential models. To specify a different Language selection, enter the
-em option in ibis2signoise.

Non-standard to DML MacroModel

The Language tag in the DML IOCell MacroModel translates to (that is, matches) either HSpice, Spectre, or Tlsim in non-standard language models. These situations apply except in instances where you enter the
-em option in ibis2signoise.

The ibis2signoise translation utility supports only the languages described above (VHDL-AMS is not supported). Attempts to translate non-supported languages generate an error message and terminate the translation process.


Above is from Allegro Si.

Spectre

So it is able to simulate Verilog-AMS! Now I must look for waveform viwer tool! Do you have any suggestion?

Re: Spectre

Sandwork Design had a viewer compatible with Cadence.
They are now owned by these guys:

Does Cadence has its own viwer?

Of course !
And for analog and digital platforms.

Spectre

which viewer is included in SPB16?
