Simulator Configuration Guide for Synopsys Models

Simulator Configuration GuideChapter 7: Using QuickSim II with Synopsys ModelsUsing DesignWare Memory Models withQuickSim IIThis section explains how to use DesignWare Memory Models with QuickSim II.DesignWare Memory Models (DWMMs) are SWIFT-compatible binary simulationmodels, identified by an _mx extension (model_mx.).This section explains how to install and use DWMM models in the Mentor GraphicsDesign Architect (schematic capture) and QuickSim II (simulation) environments:● “Installing the QuickSim II SWIFT Interface for DWMM” on page 151● “DWMM Schematic Capture” on page 151● “DWMM Logic Simulation” on page 158● “DWMM Custom Symbols” on page 163Installing the QuickSim II SWIFT Interface for DWMMThe procedure for installing the QuickSim II interface software for DWMM is the sameas for SmartModels: see “Installing the QuickSim II SWIFT Interface” on page 125.DWMM Schematic CaptureAdding a DWMM to a design schematic involves identifying the desired symbol,instantiating it, and editing its properties as necessary.Synopsys supplies a complete Schematic Editor menu system in the QuickSim IIenvironment that you can use to identify and instantiate a component. You can alsoinstantiate symbols from the command line and edit property values interactively usingDesign Architect. This section provides information about both approaches to building adesign, as well as an introduction to the symbols and their properties.For more information about Design Architect and the Schematic Editor, refer to theMentor Graphics documentation.October 6, 2003 Synopsys, Inc. 151
