<strong>Simulator</strong> <strong>Configuration</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>Chapter 7: Using QuickSim II with <strong>Synopsys</strong> <strong>Models</strong>Current Support LevelsPlease note the following important items be<strong>for</strong>e starting a simulation. SmartModelLibrary models currently:●●●Do support the implementation of location maps. You can use location maps toinstall a library anywhere on the system. Set an environment variable and a locationmap variable be<strong>for</strong>e using location maps.Do support extended-time (64-bit) simulations.Do not support the unit delay timing mode.Default Timing ModeThe default timing mode <strong>for</strong> SWIFT Smart<strong>Models</strong> is “typ”. You can use thetiming-mode switch at QuickSim invocation time to <strong>for</strong>ce the timing mode to be “min”,“typ”, or “max”.Signal Levels and Drive StrengthsSmart<strong>Models</strong> recognize the nine signal levels and drive strengths listed in Table 16.QuickSim II maps indeterminate strengths to unknowns <strong>for</strong> “12-state” simulations.The models generate strong and resistive states. The high-impedance unknown state(XZ) is used when a model places an output in the high-impedance state.Table 16: Signal State ValuesSignal LevelDrive Strength Low (0) High (1) Unknown (x)Strong (S) 0S 1S XSResistive (R) 0R 1R XRHigh Impedance (Z) 0Z 1Z XZThe state values shown in bold type are generated by the models. All values arerecognized.October 6, 2003 <strong>Synopsys</strong>, Inc. 135
