Call backs

FormerMember
FormerMember over 7 years ago

Hi All,

I am trying to instantiate a pmos in a schematic with some predefined properties using SKILL, when I put the number of fins(nfin) as 4 and number of fingers(nf) as 2, the tab with total number of fins should be updated to 8. But it is still set to its default value. So I am manually updating it, is there any other way in which the call back associated with this option can be triggered and some tabs be changed on there own?

Here is the snippet which I am using.

cdf_param_pmos=
list(list("nf" "string" sprintf(a_str "%d" a)) list("model" "string" "lvtpfet") list("nfin" "string" sprintf(b_str "%d" b)) list("total_nfin" "string" sprintf(ab_str "%d" a*b)) )
dbCreateParamInstByMasterName(
cv ;; the current cellview's dbId
"libName" ;; the library where the instance comes from
"pmos_b" ;; the name of the cell to be instantiated
"symbol" ;; the viewname of the cell to be instantiated
"I0";; hopefully a unique instance name
0.25:5.35 ;; origin
"R0" ;; orientation
1 ;; number of instances
cdf_param_pmos ) ;; the parameters, types and values

Thanks

    Hi Utkarsh,

    You can use the code in solution 11018344 for this. Probably CCSinvokeInstCdfCallbacks(inst ?order list("nf" "nfin")) where inst is the return value of dbCreateParamInstByMasterName. Some of the other options might be needed depending on the PDK - the article and code give more information.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    There is either no attachment at the mentioned link or I am not getting it.
