How to Call multi pcells one time?

 hi nidon,

              I didn't understand your question. As per my guess you need cells in layout are same as schematic cells. When you open layout in XL mode then there is an option called 'Gen From Source' in design menu. I hope this will helps you.

Hi,Sarvani,

    I means that i want to use the skill to call the instance in the layout, and I use the command dbCreateParamInstByMasterName(cv "libname" "mn18" ....),then the mn18 is invoked in the layout.But now ,i want to call mulit instances,such as,mn18,mn33,mp18,mp33....

Do I have to wirte the command dbCreateParamInstByMasterName(cv "libname" "mn18" ....),dbCreateParamInstByMasterName(cv "libname" "mn33" ....)....?Is there any simple ways to do above?

That's what loops were invented for. For example:

foreach(tranName list("mn18" "mn33" "mp18" "mp33")
  dbCreateParamInstByMasterName(cv "libName" tranName ...)
)

Regards,

Andrew.

 Hi Nidon,

One easy way to do this is to create a loop construct around the dbCreateParamInst... statement, perhaps like the following:

params = list(list( ... ))  ;; device parameters, assuming they are all the same
;; initialise the instance counts to zero
ninstNum = pinstNum = 0
;; the x stepping distance is 1 micron, the y separation is 2
xstep = 1
ystep = 2
foreach(masterName list("mn18" "mn33" "mp18" "mp33")
  dbCreateParamInstByMasterName(cv "libname" masterName "layout"
    ;; name the instance, increment the count
    if(rexMatchp("p" masterName) then
      sprintf(nil "P%d" pinstNum++) 
    else
      sprintf(nil "N%d" ninstNum++) 
    ); if
    ;; adjust the position based on device type and instance count
    if(rexMatchp("p" masterName) then
      xstep * pinstNum : ystep
    else
      xstep * ninstNum : 0
    ); if
    "R0"
    1
    params
  )
); foreach

The above is not tested, I just wrote it out to show an example of what you might do in order to parameterize the code.  The trick is to try to re-use code where possible, but if there are too many exceptions then it is easier just to write out the code, even if it seems a little repetetive.

Hope this helps!

Lawrence.

Thanks for you all kindly help,it's seems work out~lol;
