Capacitor wrap symbol

blyant

I am trying to make a wrapper of a p-cell. I want to make a schematic where the capacitor is instantiated and all variables are parsed to the symbol using pPar. Problems is, that the capacitor contains options like "geometry" or "value". Since this is a drop down menu or a switch, I do not know how to parse the value/options to a higher hierachy.

I get the following 

schObjPropForm->calcmode->value= "Geometry"
"Geometry"
schObjPropForm->calcmode->value= "Value"
"Value"

which simply shows that a variable is assigned. 

Any suggestions on how to move forward?

Thanks

  • It's probably not a PCell but a cell which has CDF. Either way, I don't think making the wrapper pass down the value of this calcmode parameter makes sense, because the parameter needs to be evaluated in the schematic editor for this to work, and if you pPar() the value, evaluation will get deferred until simulation time, which makes no sense here.

    It actually could be done using a schematic PCell as your wrapper, but that seems unnecessarily complicated (without a clear idea as to what you are trying to achieve).

    I suggest you contact customer support to discuss this further.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
