How to bind spectre netlist to symbol in schematic

archive

Hi,

I have a spectre (or spice) netlist for one subcircuit of a big design. Can somebody tell me how I can bind this netlist to a symbol I created in the schematic.  Is there any document for the same in the cadence documentation provided. Thanks in advance for your  suggestions.

  • Update:

    I refered the Hirearchy Editor documentation and tried to add it through the source file option. Source file is added succesfully. I opened the config schematic and tried. But the view is not identified. Anychanges to be made to view and stop lists???

  • Hi,

    I would recommend reading "Virtuoso Analog Design Environment User Guide“ under the section "Referencing Textual Subcircuits or Models". I tried the steps and was able to generate a netlist that does not have subcircuit definition of a cell I want to use a netlist file for.

    Source file option from HED is only currently used by AMS Designer. It would make sense for Spectre direct netlister to take advantage of this capability, but it's not there yet.

  • There is an enhancement Program Change Request (PCR) to use the
    Source File function in the HED also for Spectre not only for AMS
    Designer.

    You can ask you local support to append to this PCR for you, that
    might put some more attention on this for the Cadence R&D folks.

  • Hi, I thought you have to create a symbol and then edit the CDF parameter (simulation model) of the symbol to use the SPICE netlist. Is this the wrong way? Greetings, haikom

  • You are right Haikom. And that's exactly what the section I referred the original question poser to was trying to explain.
