cdf parameter values to simulation output file

Brad RFeng

How to send schematic cell cdf parameter values to the simulation output file?

It seems that setting Save Options>Save circuit info Name=allParams What=allparameters Where= rawfile Enabled=checked is not enough to cause the parameters to be saved. Want to use the results browser or an expression similar to this, pv("I16" "W" ?result "allParams-info.allparameters"), to display the value in the Assembler results table.

  • This will entirely depend on whether they get netlisted. Do you see them on the instance line for I16 in the netlist? Are they in the "elements" (instance) database?

    It's probably going to be easiest to deal with this via customer support so we can see what you're doing.

    Hi Andrew,

    I resolved the netlisting issue and can access the cdf parameters from the results browser using pv("I16" "W" ?result "allParams-info.allparameters"). Can also use this opParamExprList expression ("Jr_mA_per_um" "1e-3*OP(mappedRoot(\".R0\") \"i\")/pv(\"I16\" \"W\" ?result \"allParams-info.allparameters\")") to annotate current density. Thought instead of using pv() I could use iPar(\"W\") in the opParamExprList so that all instances could be annotated, not just I16. I get no annotation when using iPar or pPar in the opParamExprList. Is a different syntax required to use a cdf parameter in the opParamExprList?

    Regards,

    A related question -

    To display operating point resistance of R1 we use,

    opParamExprList(("rin" "OP(root(\"R1\") \"res\")")

    How to display op of other parameters of R1? For length, I replaced res with len and several other similar strings but none returned the length value.

    Regards,

    Brad
