Transistors in series

Glir
Glir over 12 years ago

Hi! First of all, sorry if I'm posting it in the wrong place. Moderator please move it to the right place.

 

My question is: when I change the multiplicity or the number of finger in a FET transistor, it means I'm putting them in parallel.

My question is how I put them in series, without doing it manually.

Thanks.

    Damien,

    You have to have a bend in the wire whenever you change the net name to tap off different bits in a bundle. Also, using "cds_thru" is not a real alias - it's an artificial alias (it actually netlists it as an iprobe in spectre) to cope with the situations where "patch" isn't supported (pin to pin aliases, or pin to global, or global to global). So you shouldn't need to use that either in this case.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
