postsim hspice
Hi, when working under Cadence Analog Design Evironment (ADE),
after layout completed,
we do Calibre LPE to extract parasitic for postsimulation.
The question is,
the output format we get is HSPICE format.
So, now the output netlist become HSPICE netlists,
and we have to rebuild all test-bench under HSPICE evironment
instead of original ADE set-ups.
And painful thing is that,
ADE test-benches do not correctly convert to HSPICE format
when we do File-->Export-->CDL out.
Can someone teach me
if we can somehow feed LPE output netlist back to ADE
so that we can use the same ADE testbench for presim and postsim.
Thanks in advance.
