Strange Issues in spiceIn

zczc999

Hi, all

 I have a problem during spiceIn.  I want to import hspice to schematic, but I get an error of:

Inst: RXM0
Found net 'AIN'.
Found net 'AINOUT'.
Master Cell: 'resistor'.
Did not find 'silterraC13.resistor:symbol'.
ERROR (SPICEIN-24): Spice In did not find the symbol view of the master cell 'resistor' of the instance
'RXM0' in the subcircuit 'ANALOGIO60_33'. Specify the reference library that has the symbol
view of the master cell, or use device-mapping to map 'resistor' to a different

Actually, in the spice file, the model of RXM0 is not resistor but "sbpp". And sbpp does exist in the reference library.

.subckt ANALOGIO60_33 AIN AINOUT AVDD33 AVSS33 VDD VSS VSSIO VREF DIFREF
DXDM16 AVSS33 AIN pnt AREA=75.717P PJ=112.208528U
DXDM17 AIN AVDD33 pnt AREA=75.717P PJ=112.208528U
DXDM14 AINOUT AVDD33 pnt M=4 AREA=75.717P PJ=112.208528U
DXDM15 AVSS33 AINOUT pnt M=4 AREA=75.717P PJ=112.208528U
MM6 AVSS33 AVDD33 AVSS33 AVSS33 nm_33 W=324U L=8U M=1
RXM0 AIN AINOUT sbpp w=6U l=6U
.ends

 When I mapped "resistor" to "sbpp" in device mapping file, all the resistors in the spice file are mapped to sbpp. 

 The cadence version is IC6.1.5, any one knows how to fix this ?

Thank you!

    Hi zczc999

    Just to gentle reminder that non-SKILL related questions should be posted to the "Custom IC Design" forum.

    If not mapping is provided, spiceIn will simply look for the generic cellname "resistor". This is the expected behaviour. The following mapping should be able to resolve the problem:

    devSelect := resistor sbpp
    propMatch := subtype sbpp

    Best regards
