<strong>Simulator</strong> <strong>Configuration</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>Chapter 7: Using QuickSim II with <strong>Synopsys</strong> <strong>Models</strong>Menu entries are created <strong>for</strong> the models that you have installed. If menu entries aremissing <strong>for</strong> models you believe you have in your library, use the Admin tool to verifyyour installed models. If you change your model installation, rerun mgc_menu to updatethe menu to reflect the new model list.After successful menu activation, the “Libraries” pull-down menu of the SchematicEditor contains an entry <strong>for</strong> “Logic Modeling SmartModel Library.” If you haveSimuBus models installed, the pull-down menu also contains an entry <strong>for</strong> “LogicModeling SimuBus Products.”Using Smart<strong>Models</strong>/Flex<strong>Models</strong> with QuickSim IIThis chapter provides in<strong>for</strong>mation about using Smart<strong>Models</strong> (including Flex<strong>Models</strong>)with Mentor Graphics (MGC) tools. This in<strong>for</strong>mation is organized in the followingmajor sections:●●●Schematic CaptureLogic SimulationCustom SymbolsSchematic CaptureAdding a SmartModel Library model to a design schematic involves identifying thedesired symbol, instantiating it, and then editing its properties as necessary. <strong>Synopsys</strong>supplies a complete Schematic Editor menu system in the QuickSim II environment thatyou can use to identify and instantiate a component. You can also instantiate symbolsfrom the command line and edit property values interactively using Design Architect.This chapter provides in<strong>for</strong>mation about both approaches to building a design, followingan introductory discussion of the symbols and their properties.For more in<strong>for</strong>mation about Design Architect and the Schematic Editor, refer to theMentor Graphics documentation.Symbols<strong>Synopsys</strong> provides symbols representing default package pinouts <strong>for</strong> each SmartModel.Some models have more than one symbol associated with them. This is true <strong>for</strong>:●●<strong>Models</strong> of simple logic gates, which are supplied with DeMorgan equivalentnegative logic symbols in addition to standard symbols<strong>Models</strong> that offer both pin and bus symbolsFor in<strong>for</strong>mation about symbol compatibility with different versions of the DesignArchitect software, refer to the SmartModel Library Release Notes.October 6, 2003 <strong>Synopsys</strong>, Inc. 127
