Starting a Spectre FX Simulation Run

To start a Spectre FX simulation run:

• Type the following at the command line:
  

  spectrefx [+preset=mode] +[option] [+spectre] [-f fsdb] [+mt=N] [-outdir run1] [-outname SpectreFX.out].... top.sp

Examples

% spectrefx -f fsdb +mt=4 top.sp

% spectrefx -f fsdb +mt=8 +preset=mx top.sp

% spectrefx -f fsdb +mt=8 +speed=ax +optimize=mx top.sp -outdir run1

Spectre FX automatically sets spice or spectre compatible mode by detecting the input file format and prints an information message in the log file. However, you can add +spice or +spectre at the command line to ensure the compatible mode is used as you expect.
