convertion of oldtech sechmatics to newtech schematics

Hi Sir,

I have one technolgy schematics,in that having mos's(p&n mos) and all the components like caps &resistors ,So i want to replace that mos's of old technology to new another technology mos's .

if it is possible to convert with SKILL scrips are not please let me know

Thanks in adavance

    First of all you'll have to distinguish between analog and digital schematics - I don't know what criteria you use to determine which is which.

    It's also not clear what you're actually trying to change - it doesn't make sense that a width would be the same as the old W/L (surely W/L will be dimensionless if you're dividing the width by the length).

    Maybe you're just saying that for digital schematics you keep the W and L the same as before, but for analog schematics the length becomes the L/sqrt(2) and leaves the width the same?

    If so, then it would be:

    procedure(MyFixLength(inst parName val)
      if(MyIsAnalog(inst~>cellView) then
        aelSuffixNotation(cdfParseFloatString(val)/sqrt(2))
      else
        val
      )
    )

    Note I'm using cdfParseFloatString and aelSuffixNotation to avoid using evalstring and sprintf (the aelSuffixNotation will make the expression prettier).

    You'd have to write MyIsAnalog() to take a cellView id to determine whether analog or digital.

    And then you'd specify MyFixLength as the function call as the third argument for mapping the length in the config file.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
