Design migration tool

Faizan UL HAQ

Hi,

I have a problem to transfer the simulation files from one design kit to another design kit in cadence virtuoso. The simulation files and circuit diagrams are quite many and it will take ages for me if i tranfer the files manually. Is there any kind of tool which can convert one design kit circuit diagrams into another design kit circuit diagrams.

  • Thanks Andrew for the help. Howver, as i am quite new to skill language, i have some basic questions.

    Based on my previous experience with C language,  what i have understood from the code is that it replaces cells from one design kit to the cells in another design kit.  I tried to execute the code in the following way.

    • ---made a connfiguration file with following content:

    (
      (nil
       fromLib   "cmos_rfa"
       fromCell  "pmos_rfa"
       toLib     "cmos_RFb"
       toCell    "pmos_rfb"
       runCallbacks t
       params (
               ("w" "width")
               ("l" "length" fixIt)
               )
       addProps (
                 ("isnoisy" t)
                 )
       )
     
    )

    // original names of design kit library were different than this but i have omitted then because of NDAs

    • copied your code to convert.il file and loaded it in CIW using following command.

    load "/home/pt/fulhaq/test/Skill_code/convert.il"

    • Ran the command abConvertComponentParams() with schematic name 'test'

    abConvertComponentParams("/home/pt/fulhaq/65nmtest/Skill_code/conv.config" "test")

    *Error* dbGetq: Object is not a db/dd/tech/bag object. - "test"

    However, i am getting the error:

    Error* dbGetq: Object is not a db/dd/tech/bag object. - "test"

    Moreover, i am not able to understand the functionality of  "propmatch" and "matchfuntion" in configuration file.

    regards
