Generate netlist with subckt statement for top level

Octavian

I'm generating a netlist from CIW using:

simulator('spectre)
design("libName" "cellName" "viewName")
createNetlist()

This works fine but I would like to enclose the top level cell in .subckt/ends statements, similar to other cells in the hierarchy. Is that possible using the skill/ocean interface?

 

Thanks,

  • Don't nest all the code inside Netlist_TopLevel_SubCkt(). The procedures won't be local (unless you're using SKILL++ and have a .ils suffix), and even then some of it will be evaluated at the wrong time. There's no need to do it that way. Load the code I gave you, and define your function like this:

    procedure( Netlist_TopLevel_SubCkt()
    let( ( sch )
        abRegisterSpectreTopCVFormatter()
        sch=geGetEditCellView()
        design( sch~>libName sch~>cellName sch~>viewName )
        createNetlist()
        asiSetNetlistFormatterClass(asiGetTool('spectre) 'spectreFormatter)
    ))

    (Note, I didn't test the above code).
