Standard cell Import issue (spice to schematic) using Spice In import

Hi,

I try to create the schematic views of Standard cell from the spice file I have (spicefile.spi). However when I do the import the width and length of the device do not follow, and the device in the schematic have a default width and length value instead of the one specified in the spice file.

Here is below an example for one gate of this spice file:

.subckt AN2D0 A1 A2 Z VDD VSS
M_u3-M_u2 Z net6 VSS VSS nch3 w=0.58u l=0.35u
M_u2-M_u4 X_u2-net6 A2 VSS VSS nch3 w=0.58u l=0.35u
M_u2-M_u3 net6 A1 X_u2-net6 VSS nch3 w=0.58u l=0.35u

I used the desig map file as below:

-- Device Mapping file generated from SpiceIn GUI
devSelect := nch3 nmos3v
    propMap := wf w

devSelect := pch3 pmos3v

propMap := wf w

Do you please have any idea to fix this import issue?

Thank you,

Best Regards

KC

    Hi KC

    Would you please try "w wf" for propMap instead of "wf w"? Is "l" the name of the of the CDF parameter for nmos3v?


    Best regards

    HI Quek,

    Thanks for your reply, It works by modifying the Device map file to w w l l and actifivating the CDF callback switch in the Spice In option.

    Best Regards
