Run Script for xrun

When creating an xrun run script for design verification, you need to specify the following items on the xrun command line:

Some things to note:

• You can specify the AMS and analog control file on the command line, just like any other input file.

• You do not need to specify any connect rules ( -amsconnrules) when you have an ie statement in an amsd block.

  If you do use a connect rules file, you can specify it as a regular input file, directly on the command line.

• The model files must be included in the AMS control file.
  For example:
include "./models/resistor.scs" section=res
include "./models/diode.scs" section=dio
include "./models/pmos1.scs" section=nom
include "./models/nmos1.scs" section=nom

Tcl File Creation to Probe Behavioral Nodes  

To probe behavioral nodes and save that information to a database file called waves.shm, you might create a Tcl file (probe.tcl) containing commands such as the following:

database -open waves -into waves.shm -defaultprobe -create -database waves -all -depth allprobe -create -database waves testbench.refclkprobe -create -database waves testbench.clk_p0_1xprobe -create -database waves testbench.clk_p0_4xprobe -create -database waves testbench.p0
