How to Write a PWL Current Source,Please Help!!!THX
Nov 08th, 2017, 9:50pm
 
Hello!
I want to make a MTK PE+ protocol tester.
So I want make a current wave like this:
_|-|_|-|_|---|_|---|_|---|_|-----|_
(i_bus=0->delay TimeD->i_bus=itarget->delay TimeC->i_bus=0->delay TimeD->i_bus=itarget->delay TimeC->i_bus=0->delay TimeD->i_bus=itarget->delay TimeB->i_bus=0->delay TimeD->i_bus=itarget->delay TimeB->i_bus=0->delay TimeD->i_bus=itarget->delay TimeB->i_bus=0->delay TimeD->i_bus=itarget->delay TimeA->i_bus=0->delay TimeD)

*TimeA=500ms *TimeB=300ms *TimeC=TimeD=100ms

my code is:
Code:
case(mod)
    ...
	3: begin
		if ( V(vtarget) < 2 ) begin //Reset
			next1 = $abstime + TimeWDT;
			@(timer($abstime , next1)) i_bus = 0;
		end
		else if ( V(vbus) < ( V(vtarget) - 1 ) ) begin //this part is current wave
			repeat( 2 ) begin
				i_bus = 0;
				next1 = $abstime + TimeD;
				next2 = next1 + TimeC;
				@(timer(next1 , next2)) i_bus = V(itarget);
			end
			repeat( 3 ) begin
				next1 = $abstime + TimeD;
				@(timer($abstime , next1)) i_bus = 0;
				next2 = $abstime + TimeB;
				@(timer($abstime , next2)) i_bus = V(itarget);
			end
			next1 = $abstime + TimeD;
			@(timer($abstime , next1)) i_bus = 0;
			next2 = $abstime + TimeA;
		end
		else if ( V(vbus) > ( V(vtarget) + 1 ) )begin //this part is another current wave
			repeat( 3 ) begin
				next1 = $abstime + TimeD;
				@(timer($abstime , next1)) i_bus = 0;
				next2 = $abstime + TimeB;
				@(timer($abstime , next2)) i_bus = V(itarget);
			end
			repeat( 2 ) begin
				next1 = $abstime + TimeD;
				@(timer($abstime , next1)) i_bus = 0;
				next2 = $abstime + TimeC;
				@(timer($abstime , next2)) i_bus = V(itarget);
			end
			next1 = $abstime + TimeD;
			@(timer($abstime , next1)) i_bus = 0;
			next2 = $abstime + TimeA;
			@(timer($abstime , next2)) i_bus = V(itarget);
		end
	end
	... 



I know it is not right, but i don't know how to make delay in the loop.

Please help, Thanks!

I can't figure out what you are trying to do. I don't understand this:
 i_bus=0->delay TimeD->i_bus=itarget->delay TimeC->i_bus=0...

and I don't know what MTK PE+ is.

To me, a "PWL current source" is a spice element that takes an array of time,value pairs and generates a current that depends only on the time ($abstime). Your code shows that there is some additional input based on V(vbus) and V(vtarget), but I don't know what that is, or how it relates to the current wave you mention in the text.

Hi, Geoffrey_Coram

I just want to known how to make delay in a loop.
Can I make a PWL source with Duty 30% like this?
Code:
module PWL(out);
voltage out;

parameter real Period = 100u;
parameter real Duty = 30;

real pulse_timer;
real lpulse_timer;
real v_out;
analog begin
	pulse_timer = $abstime + Period*Duty/100;
	while($abstime < pulse_timer)
		v_out = 1;
	lpulse_timer = $abstimer + Period*(100-Duty)/100;
	while($abstime < lpulse_timer)
		v_out = 0;
end

analog V(out) <+ v_out;

endmodule 



I use this model to running, the simulation will get stuck at the "while" loop.

So how to solved this?

Code:
	pulse_timer = $abstime + Period*Duty/100;
	while($abstime < pulse_timer)
		v_out = 1;
 



So, at the start of the simulation, $abstime = 0, and then pulse_timer = 0 + 100u*30/100, and of course the while loop gets stuck: $abstime =0 is less than 30u, so it keeps looping.

Try this:
Code:
module PWL(out);
output out;
voltage out;

parameter real Period = 100u;
parameter real Duty = 30;

real t_modulo_period;
real v_out;
analog begin
	t_modulo_period = $abstime;
	while (t_modulo_period > Period)
		t_modulo_period = t_modulo_period - Period;
	if (t_modulo_period < Period * Duty/100)
		v_out = 1;
	else
		v_out = 0;

	V(out) <+ v_out;
	bound_step(0.1*Period);
end
endmodule

Thanks a lot!
OK I got It. It's different between software that the expressions are not spend time. Cheesy

So $abstime just can changed at the analog loop beginning?
And how can I make delay in "analog" loop? just like verilog "#delay"?

There is no analog equivalent to digital #delay.

You can do something like
Code:
  t_after_delay = $abstime - Delay;
  if( t_after_delay >= 0) begin
    t_modulo_period = t_after_delay;
    ...
