about CDL import/export question

Jiangs

1.In the PDK , there are two parameters about width:1.w(total width) 2.fw(figure width)

   In the map file , I can only define: propMap := w w or propMap := w fw

   w:MOS's width in the CDL files; w fw:MOS's width in the PDK

   I want to define w=w=fw, how to realize?

2.In the CDL files w=5u, but when I import the CDL file, in the schematic w=5E-6.

   When  I export the CDL file, as is the case with import.

   I want to realize w=5u , no matter import into the schematic  or export  to CDL file.

   How to realize?

   The Cadence versions 5.10.41.500.6.136

Thank you

Jiang

    Hi Jiang

    In the instance property form, if w is calculated from fw, then you should map cdl w to pdk fw and then use the callback triggering skillscript from COS solution 11018344 to synchronize the value of w to fw.

    After re-triggering the callbacks, does the schematic values change from 5e-6 to 5u? I can't remember if the script has such an effect. If not, perhaps you can resolve the units problem in the cdl file with a perlscript.

    Best regards
    Quek
