Cell name as a pcell variable

fun4skilled

Hi,

I have developed a skill based pcell for a particluar device. One of the parameters for the pcell is a string which is the name of a cell in the library I am working. It works fine, but when I try  copy these pcells into a diferent library I do not see these cells copied since cadence thinks they are just properties. The limitation I have with the code is I need to pass the names of the cells as parameters . When I do this I exprerience these problems.  I would really appreciate if someone could tell me if there is a way around.

Thanks

C.

  • I don't entirely understand your problem. My guess is that when you're doing a hierarchical copy, it's not copying the child instances instantiated within the cellView. Is that it? If so, I don't think there's anything you can do except copy them manually yourself. The problem is that they are not referenced in the superMaster cellView for the pcell, and hence the copy engine won't see them (I expect; I didn't try this).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
