A question about auCdl - nlSetPcellName ...?

Prabhu The ICL

  Hi All,
       I am using CADENCE IC514 version. I am trying to customize CDL netlist to full-fill my reqirements. In the process
       I am trying to rename subcircuits model name.

       For example ... please consider the below ...

       original CDL statement :-
       MM1 D G S B NM W=Wfing*fing L=L m=mult  ;(This is a line in the definition of a subcircuit cell)
       required CDL statement :-
       MM1 D G S B rpposab W=Wfing*fing L=L m=mult

       I have gone through the documentation and I found the below procedure ...

       procedure( nlSetPcellName( cv paramNames paramValues )
       let( ( name value (subcktName  ""))
               foreach( (name value) paramNames paramValues
                       subcktName = strcat( subcktName name "_" value  "_")
               )
               strcat(subcktName cv->cellName )
               )
       )

       But I am not getting to which auCdl variable I have to return this('nlSetPcellName' return val) value.
       (I have tried 'auCdlModuleNameMapFunc' variable to rename cell names in my design & it's working. I am looking
       for a similar kind of variable to rename cellname/celltype of a subcircuit).

       I hope the probelm is understandable. If it doesn't I"ll come up with the more information.
       Can someone guide me to achive this ...!

       Thanks in Advance ...

  • This is unlikely to help, since this is for the case where you have schematic pcells,  which would result in unique subckts in the netlist for each variant. What you're describing is just a simple MOSFET.

    What you are trying to do is change the  modelName in the CDF. Here's how:

    1. Tools->CDF->Edit CDF
    2. Change from Effective to Base
    3. FIll in the library/cell name of the transistor
    4. Go to the Simulation Information section and hit Edit
    5. Pick "auCdl" as the simulator/netlister
    6. Change the modelName field from NM to rpposab
    7. OK this form and the main edit CDF form

    That's it.
