Test Benches

Abstract

From version 16.5, one can use the Partial Design Feature, which uses test benches to allow users to define those components that are used only for simulations. Users can also selectively partition designs for different simulation profiles and build up designs using circuits from other projects. Using test benches is very useful when users have a design that has been put together from a collection of circuits from other projects, as it will allow them to test the functionality of each individual circuit as they build up to the complete design. When a test bench is created, a Test Bench folder, which contains all the design schematics is added to the bottom of the Project Manager. All the components in all the ...
