Can I use dynamic variable names in Spectre?

SteveVrk

Hello,

I have a sub circuit which is created using a script. When I instantiate it via Virtuoso, I use a CDF parameter "id" which is a numeric value.

Inside the netlist for this sub circuit, I would like to use this CDF parameter to reference a variable "resistance_$id_x". Example:

simulator lang=spectre

subckt test In Out

parameters id=1

   RTest (In Out) resistor r=strcat("resistance_", id, "_x")

ends test

Then, in a different file I would have:

resistance_1_x 1000

resistance_2_x 2000

Is this possible?

    No, it's not possible. You could of course do it if the block was a schematic PCell rather than a generated netlist.
