verilogin problem: modules are imported twice

 Hi All,

I'm importing some verilog files into  dfII library to generate a schematic to run a transistor level simulation.The library for standard cells are created first. When I use verilogin, it can proceed without errors but there is a weird problem, it will place each module twice, one with proper connections and one without any connections.

For example, following is a simple verilog file, containing only one inverter.

module test (A, B, VDD, VSS);

input A;

output B;

input VDD;

input VSS;

INHDV1 inv1 (.VSS ( VSS ), .VDD ( VDD ), .I ( A ), .ZN ( B ) );

endmodule

INHDV1 is a standard cell and it has ports VDD/VSS/I/ZN. But the imported schematic has two inverters, where one connects to VDD/VSS/A/B correctly, and the other has no connections at all.

I tried some options in verilogIn form and read the document. No clues. We are using IC5141usr6.

Could anybody give some suggestions?

Thanks,

 Howel

    Howel,

    I don't see this problem using IC5141 USR6. It works fine for me...

    Do you have a particular version of the digital simulators in your path? From UNIX, what do you get if you type "ncvlog -version" (I was running without ncvlog in my path).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
