Back annotation of design parameters in the schematic (SKILL code).

Atul Dwivedi

Hi there,

I am in want of a simple procedure to set the componet values (eg. w,l of MOS; capacitance value of a cap) in the schematic from a file. The input file may contain the desired component value in the required format.  

Please tell me if this is possible. If yes, please suggest the appropriate APIs to do the same and what all formatted information should the input file store.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Atul

    Hi Atul,

    You may wish to look at this code from the support site. When changing instance parameters through SKILL, the CDF callbacks would not be invoked, so you will also most likely need the following solution code also: How to invoke CDF callbacks procedurally through SKILL

    Then the only piece missing for you is to have a file of an appropriate format and read it in using SKILL - let us know if you need help with that part.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
