Dynamic Rise Fall Edge Check (dyn_risefall)

Description

The dynamic edge check detects the nodes whose voltages do not cross the user-defined thresholds VH and VL.

The results are written to the dynamic.xml file, which can be viewed in a Web browser.

Syntax

Name dyn_risefall parameter=value ...

Parameters

Design check parameters

node

[...]

Nodes to which the check is applied. Default is none.

vrefp

[...]

Power reference node to support multiple power domain.

vrefn

[...]

Ground reference node to support multiple power domain.

vhr

0 V

Relative high voltage ratio for rise/fall edge measurements.

vlr

0 V

Relative low voltage ratio for rise/fall edge measurements.

type

Check rise or fall edge.Possible values are rise and fall.

vh

0 V

High voltage threshold for rise/fall edge measurements.

vl

0 V

Low voltage threshold for rise/fall edge measurements.

Filtering parameters

time_window

[tstart, tstop] sec

Time window to which the circuit check is applied. Multiple non-overlapping time windows are supported. Default time window is 0 to tend.

error_limit

10000

Maximum number of errors reported. Default is 10000.

fanout

all

Fanout setting to filter node with specified connection..Possible values are all, gate and bulk.

filter

optimized

Filter setting to report all nodes or fewer nodes of interest.Possible values are rc, optimized and none.

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 subcircuit to which the check is applied. Default includes all subcircuits (subckt=*).

xsubckt

[...]

The instances of the specified subcircuits that are excluded from the check. Default is none.

depth

8

Hierarchy levels (starting from top, instance, or subcircuit scope) to be checked. Default is 8.

monotonic

1

Flag to indicate that monotonic transitions are expected. Non-monotonic edge is reported violation. Set 0 to skip non-monotonic violations..

dvmin

0.01 V

Voltage resolution to control the sensitivity of non-monotonic checks..

duration

0 Sec

Delta voltage duration of non-monotonic checks..
