How to get a Circuit in verilog
converted to hspice, connected to
the micron package models, and
simulating in hspice and hsimplus.
First we need a verilog file.
// mod.v
`timescale 1ns / 1ps
These are the names of the internal inputs and outputs
module mod( a, out, CLK);
input [3:0] a;
input CLK;
output [1:0] out;
reg [1:0] out;
always@(posedge CLK)
begin
out <= a % 3;
end
endmodule
•This is where you declare the specs of the circuit.
•The [3:0] syntax means that there are 4 wires contained in
the circuit.
•the output of this circuit is named out.
• For us to be able to assign to out in the always block
below we must also declare a reg of the same type and
name.
•For this circuit, the code in the always block will run every
time that the CLK signal goes from low to high.
= vs <= operators
reg[15:0] a;
reg[15:0] b;
always@(posedge CLK)
begin
a=b;
b=a;
end
reg[15:0] a;
reg[15:0] b;
always@(posedge CLK)
begin
a<=b;
b<=a;
end
•The = operator is verilog’s blocking assignment operator
•Each statement must be evaluated and the value changed
before the next.
•For this circuit, a gets the value of b.
•b then gets the value of a.
•Result: both now contain the same value
•The <= operator is verilog’s non-blocking assignment
operator.
•During the CLK cycle all of these updates take place
simultaneously
•For this circuit, a and b will switch their values at
the positive edge of every CLK
Simulation of circuit to ensure logic
correct.
• Hspice and Hsimplus are not suited for simple
verification of a verilog circuit.
• Use Xilink or similar program to simulate the
circuit and verify functionality.
Xilink demo
• Todo (maybe) add a xilink demo (but we
should aready know how to do this)

Conversion from Verilog to Spice
• Conversion from verilog to spice is done in
several step
1. The .v file is ran through a rtl optimization and
verification script
2. The now optimized file is ran through the design
compiler to get a structural verilog file.
3. The structural verilog file is converted to hspice
•
As an example I will be converting the mod.v file
(shown earlier) to spice.
Step 0: Getting Ready
• Run the following commands to ensure group members can read your files
– newgrp micron
– umask 007
• Create a working directory and copy the scripts from the
/home/micron/design/65nm/dc directory
– namingrules.dc
• Node name restriction and modification script
– mult.cstr.tcl
• Constraint file that defines the clock period, etc
– mult.rtlopt.csh
• A cshell script for launching the design compiler
– mult.rtlopt.tcl
• A script for generating the correct rtl optimized file
– mult.dcopt.csh
• A shell script for running the synthesis workflow
– mult.dcopt.tcl
• A script for running the full compilation
• These are based off of the scripts from Ken Stevens ECE 6770 Advanced
digital VLSI design class webpage
– They have been modified to use the 65nm design libraries
• Copy the micron package models into your new directory
Step 0: Getting Ready (continued)
•Need to edit scripts so they are
operating on the correct files.
• Modify 4 files replacing mult
with the circuit name

• Adjust this value to define what
clock speed we will be using
– Very important to ensure that
circuit is converted correctly
(allows enough time for signal
propagation)
– We don’t know what it should be
so make best guess
– We will be able to check the circuit
timing later and may have to come
back and readjust this.
• Lastly rename all of the mult.*
files to {circuit_name}.*

Step 1: RTL Optimization and Verilog
Verification
• Run the rtl optimization script
– ./mod.rtlopt.csh
• This will generate 2 files
– mod.rtlopt.out
• Contains a log of the conversion. Check this for errors!!
– mod.rtlopt.v

Step 2: Conversion to Structural

• Run the conversion script
– ./mod.dcopt.csh
• This will generate many files
– mod.dcopt.out
• Contains a log of the conversion. Check this for errors!!
– mod.dcopt.v
• The converted structural verilog file.
– mod.dcopt.fullpaths
• Contains timing information from the design compiler
Step 2: Conversion to Structural
Verilog (continued)
•Result
•mod.dcopt.v is now ready
for conversion to hspice

Spice File Simulation
• We now have the a spice file of our verilog
circuit
• Now we need a control file for simulation
• Simpler to do it without the micron package
models at first
– Hard to program from scratch without example
Control Files
mod.wop.sp
•.include and .lib tell the simulator what files to
use.
•We include our mod.v2lvs.sp which
contains our circuit
SPICE simulation of our simple inverter

•Define inputs for the circuits
•Here we are doing a 10000ps pulse
with various offsets for DIE_DQ0DIE_DQ3
•DIE_DQ6 here is a clock signal
•Sets hsim’s precision factor. (lower is slower)
•Instructs the simulator to simulate for a
specific amount of time. (40000 pico-seconds)
•Instructs the simulator to plot the output
waveforms of signals from 0 to 1.2 volts
•Measures the average (rms) power of VCC from
0ps to 40000ps

• Where do we get all of this info
– x# at the start gives it a unique identifier for this instantiation of this circuit
– mod at the end tells us what circuit it is
– The rest of them are arbitrary names chosen by whatever naming scheme you see fit.
• So what should I put here and how many of them should I put?
• First look at the spice file

Connecting Circuits to Packages
• To connect the mod circuit to the package we
use the following format
– Give mod’s inputs the same name as the DIE side
inputs of the package
MOD
DIE_DQ#_PCG001
BGA_DQ#_PKG001
Input Stimulus (CLK,RESET,etc)
Connecting Circuits to Packages
(continued)
• To connect the two mod circuits internally in a single
package we use the following format
– Give mod’s inputs the same name as the DIE side inputs of
the package and /or inputs from the other mod circuit
MOD x1
MOD x2
DIE_DQ#_PCG001
BGA_DQ#_PKG001
Input Stimulus (CLK,RESET,etc)
Connecting Circuits to Packages
(continued)
• To connect the 2 mod circuits that are in
different packages we do the following
– Give mod’s inputs the same name as the DIE side
inputs of the package
MOD x2
MOD x1
DIE_DQ#_PCG001
DIE_DQ#_PCG002
BGA_DQ#_PKG001
BGA_DQ#_PKG002
Input Stimulus (CLK,RESET,etc)
Simulation in Hspice and Hsimplus
• The commands to simulate have similar formats
•
•
hspice -i mod.singlelayer.control -o mod.singlelayer.hspice.out
syn-hsimplus –I mod.singlelayer.control -o mod.singlelayer.hsimplus.out
• These commands may take a while. (especially
hspice)
• When finished we should be able to open the results
and view waveforms in c-scope
– Command is syn-cscope
• Modelsim output files are of in the .fsdb format
