Static DC Leakage Path Check (static_dcpath)

Description

Reports the always conducting paths between the power supply nodes.

The results are written to the static.xml file, which can be viewed in a Web browser. This check is supported only by XPS and APS.

Syntax

Name static_dcpath parameter=value ...

Parameters

Design check parameters

net

[...]

The leakage path between the voltage source nodes is checked. net defines a set of nodes and not a pair. For example, node = [vdd vdd1 0] checks the leakage path between vdd and vdd1, vdd and 0, and vdd1 and 0.

rpt_node

no

report node voltages.Possible values are no, all, top and selected.

Digitize parameters

vpth

-0.4 V

PMOS threshold voltage. This value is used to calculate the voltage drop across a PMOS channel during voltage propagation. Default is -0.4 V.

vnth

0.5 V

NMOS threshold voltage. This value is used to calculate the voltage drop across a NMOS channel during voltage propagation. Default is 0.5 V.

vsrcnodefile

[...]

Defines file from which node voltages are read for performing the check.

pwl_time

infinity

Time for pwl src to be considered as constant vsrc.

Filtering parameters

error_limit

10000

Maximum number of errors reported. Default is 10000.
