How to associate an extracted netlist of a subckt to the symbol view in schematic editor.

RFStuff

Dear All,

I am using Calibre ( mentor Graphics). It creates the spectre Netlist and calibre view for PEX.

However, claibre view creation takes a lot of time unlike its spectre Netlist.

The spectre netlist it creates in a file like xyz.pex.netlist.

The format is as below:-

 

simulator lang=spectre
include "SUBCKT_BLOCK.pex.netlist.pex"
subckt SUBCKT_BLOCK (  DVDD DVSS A B C D E \
 F )

        .................................

............................................

............the sub ckt netlist body .............

........................................................

include "SUBCKT_BLOCK.pex.netlist.DIV_BY_4_WITH_GRID.pxi"
//
ends SUBCKT_BLOCK
//
//

 

Is it possible to associate this netlist to the corresponding subckt symbol used in the bigger ckt block the schematic editor so that the created netlist will have the above sub-ckt netlist in the output netlist of the bigger ckt block ?

Kind Regards,

  •  Dear All,

     With changing the " componentName- to the Name of The CELL" ( as suggested by Andrew), it is taking the netlist file.

    But once the spectre view is created, the netlist always taking/ tries to take the model ( in my case the extracted big Netlist) even if you have both symbol view and spectre view of the cell. It doesn't distinguish between symbol view and spectre view as far as the netlist is concerned. If I disable the model ( the netlis), it still tries to take the netlist and gives error.

    Could anybody please tell how I can revert back to the normal symbol view operation without deleting the already created Spectre view ?

    Is there any simpler ways of inserting pin name into the cell view ? One can easily commit  a mistake while inserting pin name in order especially when the number of pins of the CELL is large ?

    Kind Regads,
