Dynamic Glitch Check (dyn_glitch)
Description
A 'Glitch' occurs when:
- A low signal goes above the mid-level, and crosses the mid-level again within the user-defined duration.
- A high signal goes below the mid-level, and crosses the mid-level again within the user-defined duration.
This check applies only to blocks with single and constant power supply.
The results are written to the dynamic.xml file, which can be viewed in a Web browser.

|
Wildcard scoping
|
inst
|
[...]
|
Subcircuit instances to which the check is applied. Default includes all instances (inst=*).
|
|
xinst
|
[...]
|
Subcircuit instances to be excluded from the check. Default is none.
|
|
subckt
|
[...]
|

[...]
|
The instances of the specified subcircuits that are excluded from the check. Default is none.
|
|
depth
|
8
|
