Using standalone .scs models

kristen
kristen over 14 years ago
I have several .scs models of MOSFETs that I would like to use in cadence schematic view so I can run simulations with them. How can I make symbol/spectre views from the scs models or otherwise use these? I've previously worked only with packaged libraries, not standalone models without libraries/tech files.

    If your're using a design kit with pcells then place schematic symbols from the PDK library.  They will link to the .scs files.  If your design kit doesn't have pcells, use nmos and pmos from analogLib.  Then find the name of the model from the .scs file and put that in the 'Model name' of the device, in its CDF properties.
