Length: 1/2 Day (4 hours)Digital BadgesCourse DescriptionFor classroom delivery, this course is taught as a half-day session (4 hours).This course is part of the Spectre® Simulator Fundamentals series. In this course, you use the Spectre Circuit Simulator Measurement Description Language (MDL), a productivity-enhancing tool for simulation and data analysis. Using alias measurement, a Measurement Description Language (MDL) procedure, you can run an analysis and extract information about the performance of the circuit. You examine how MDL acts as a controller interacting with a variety of inputs, outputs, and tools. You also learn to create MDL measurements and reuse them, and finally, run Spectre MDL in standalone and batch modes and observe the measured values in the *.measure output file. You also examine how to use an MDL file within the ADE Explorer environment.Learning ObjectivesAfter completing this course, you will be able to:Use the Spectre Circuit Simulator Measurement Description Language (MDL) to create a measurement aliasInteract with a variety of inputs, outputs, and tools using MDLIdentify the contents of a Spectre MDL fileDefine and use a measurement alias for common measurements in SpectreConstruct Spectre MDL expressions using its data types, operators, and built-in functionsEvaluate MDL expressions using looping and control statementsSet up and run Spectre MDL in standalone and batch modesUse the wildcard (\*) in the MDL control file for mapping all signalsPostprocess MDL measurements Use an MDL file within the ADE Explorer environment Software Used in This CourseSpectre Classic SimulatorSpectre Multi-Mode SimulationCadence Design Framework II Virtuoso Visualization and AnalysisSoftware Release(s)SPECTRE 23.1 ISR8 and IC23.1 ISR6Modules in this CourseAbout This CourseMeasurement Description LanguageCourse ConclusionsNext StepsAppendix: Spectre Command-Line Options (Optional)AudienceAnalog Designers Chip Designers RF Designers IC Designers Design Engineers Analog and Mixed-Signal IC DesignersPrerequisitesYou must have:Basic knowledge of analog circuit designThe ability to read and understand analog circuit netlistsAn understanding of DC, Transient, and AC analyses and their measurementsOr you must have completed the following course:Spectre Simulator Fundamentals S1: Spectre BasicsIt is also recommended to take the Spectre Simulator Fundamentals S2: Large-Signal Analyses course covering DC and transient analysis or have an understanding of DC, Transient, and AC analyses as this course involves measurements after performing these analyses.Related CoursesPlease see course learning maps at this link for a visual representation of courses and course relationships.
