Looking to learn? There's a bunch of new RAKs (Rapid Adoption Kits) available online now!

1) Indago 19.09 Better Driver Tracing and More

Are you new to Indago and not sure where to start? Luckily, there’s a new Rapid Adoption Kit for you: the Indago 19.09 Overview RAK! This neat package contains everything you need to get your debugging started through Indago. In four short labs, plus a brief introductory lab, you’ll have all the basics of Indago 19.09 down—the Indago working environment, the SmartLog, how Indago interacts with the rest of the Cadence Verification Suite, and how Indago uses HDL driver tracing.

Lab 1 discusses the various debugging tools included in Indago and teaches you how to customize your Indago windows and environment settings. Lab 2 covers the SmartLog feature and talks about analyzing and filtering its messages to suit your needs, as well as how to interact with the waveform marker. Lab 3 is an interactive Indago debugging experience—it’ll walk you through how to use Indago and its features in an actual working environment: setting breakpoints, using simulator commands in the Indago console, toolbars, switches, and more. Lab 4 is all things HDL tracing—recording debug data, an introduction to debug assertions, waveform visualizations, driving expression analysis, and single-step driver tracing, among other things.

Interested? Check out the RAK here.

2) IXCOM MSIE: Faster Palladium Build Time

Got several testbenches you want to compile with the same DUT and tests and you want to do it fast? With IXCOM, all you have to do to compile those different testbenches is use the xrun command for each after compiling your DUT. But what exactly is IXCOM, and how does one start using it? This quick RAK can help—here, you’ll learn the basics of using MSIE features with IXCOM, complete with an example to get you started. Using MSIE can vastly improve your build times with Palladium and using IXCOM is the best way to shrink that tedious rebuild time as small as it can get. Check out this RAK here.

3)  JasperGold Control and Status Register Verification App Automates UVM Register Map Verification

New to the JasperGold Control and Status Register (CSR) Verification App for your UVM testbenches? Don’t worry; there’s a RAK for that! This eponymous RAK can get you up and running with this in no time, helping you automate your checks from UVM register map specs. With this RAK, you’ll learn the basics of the JasperGold CSR, how to use JasperGold CSR’s Proof Accelerator, and more. CSR features a model-based approach to predicting a register’s expected value, supports pipeline interfaces, all IP-XACT access policies, and it can fully model any expected register value. It also supports register aliases, read and write semantics, and separate read/write data latencies in any given field.

If this functionality sounds up your alley, you can take a look at this RAK here.

We have many legacy board designs which have non-standard films. I'm writing SKILL code to automatically align a board's film records with our internal standard.

While I'm sure there will be multiple questions, here are the first two I've run into:

1. It seems the polyCutLayer parameter of axlFilmCreate() doesn't work. You can easily see this for yourself. Try typing "axlFilmCreate("test" ?polyCutLayer nil)" on the command window in Allegro. I'm returned "nil", indicating the film could not be created, and I see "*WARNING* (axlFilmCreate): Invalid option type: ?polyCutLayer" in the command window. Just to try a different parameter and see that it works, try "axlFilmCreate("test" ?negative t)". I'm returned a "t" and the film is created. Page 139 of 17.4-2019 algroskill.pdf shows this parameter and I can see it listed if I inspect an existing from from the DB, so what gives? Is the polyCutLayer parameter broken when creating films?

2. In conjunction with the above, if I loop through all current films and use axlDeleteObject() to remove them all, and then try to create new films but give an argument to the polyCutLayer parameter, films containing copper layers seem to be automatically created. There are four films (my test board has four layers) with the ETCH/, PIN/, and VIA CLASS/ subclasses. I am able to manually delete all films and see absolutely no films at all. Is there something weird going on here or is this to be expected for some reason?

I'm running Allegro 17.4s002.

Hello,

I am trying to import (in spectre) an spice model of a ceramic capacitor manufactured by Samsung EM. The link that includes the model is here :-

http://weblib.samsungsem.com/mlcc/mlcc-ec.do?partNumber=CL05A156MR6NWR

They proved static spice model and interactive spice model.

I had no problem while including the static model.

However, the interactive model which models voltage and temperature coefficients seems to not be an ordinary spice model. They provide HSPICE, LTSPICE, and PSPICE model files and I failed to include any of them.

Any suggestions ?

Hello,

I am using Virtuoso 6.1.7.

I am performing the parasitic extraction of a MOM cap array of 32 caps. I use Quantus QRC and I enable field solver. I select “QRCFS” for field solver type and “High” for field solver accuracy. The unit MOM cap is horizontally and vertically symmetric. The array looks like the sketch below and there are no other structures except the unit caps:

Rationally speaking, the capacitance values of the unit caps should be symmetric with respect to a vertical symmetry axis that is between cap16 and cap17 (shown with dashed red line). For example,

the capacitance of cap1 should be equal to the capacitance of cap32

the capacitance of cap2 should be equal to the capacitance of cap31

etc. as there are no other structures around the caps that might create some asymmetry.

Nevertheless, what I observe is the following after the parasitic extraction:

As it can be seen, the result is not symmetric contrary to what is expected. I should also add that I do not observe this when I perform parasitic extraction with no filed solver.

Why do I get this result? Is it an artifact resulting from the field solver tool (my conclusion was yes but still it must be verified)? If not, how can something like this happen?

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Can
