Set Symbol parameters and pass parameters to its schematic device

FormerMember

Hi all,

We create a symbol from schematic.

The symbol which we created has adjustable options for l and w (length and width).

Now we use this symbol in other schematic and we want to set the l and w.

We want to pass area value (l*w) to this symbol’s schematic device(for example, a diode).

The spectre can accept parameters description.

We want to substitute all parameters with real numbers because we want to do the LVS netlist output.

Could you help us to solve this problem?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards, E-Jen

     I answered a similar question in this thread last week. Set the diode to have the area set to pPar("l")*pPar("w"). The LVS netlist (CDL, I assume) would also have the expression (l*w) but that shouldn't be a problem for any LVS tool to be able to resolve during LVS.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
