problem importing CDL netlist

Skywalker121

HI everyone,

I imported a standard cell library with spiceIn, and got many schematics corrosponding to defferent symbols.(device map: W w L l)

The cdl file I imported contains some parameters as showd in the figure below, thus the symbols are attached with CDL parameters PW,PL,NW,NL

Is there a way I can import the cdl file without creating symbol CDL parameters? Thanks very much!

    Yes, you'll need to create a device map (also can be done through the UI) to map model (or subtype, in CDL terminology) names PCH and NCH to the corresponding components in your library (you need to specify that library as a reference library too).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
