"area" parameter missing from auCdl netlist

srikumarDA over 7 years ago

Hi,

When I am trying to generate the auCdl netlist, "area" parameter name is missing from the netlist.

EXPECTED NETLIST:

.SUBCKT fet_test nd_net sx_net
*.PININFO nd_net:B sx_net:B
DD0 sx_net nd_net tdndsx area=1.0p m=1 perim=4.0u dtemp=0.0
.ENDS

COMING NETLIST:

.SUBCKT fet_test nd_net sx_net
*.PININFO nd_net:B sx_net:B
DD0 sx_net nd_net tdndsx 1.0p m=1 perim=4.0u dtemp=0.0
.ENDS

CDF CODE:

termOrder = '(plus minus)
cdfCreateParam(cdfId
      ?name           "area"
      ?prompt         "Parasitic Area"
      ?defValue       "1.0p"
      ?type           "string"
      ?parseAsCEL     "yes"
      ?parseAsNumber "yes"
      ?storeDefault   "yes"
    )
    cdfId->area->minValue = "0.0"

cdfCreateParam(cdfId
      ?name           "perim"
      ?prompt         "Parasitic Perimeter"
      ?units          "lengthMetric"
      ?defValue       "4.0u"
      ?type           "string"
      ?parseAsCEL     "yes"
      ?parseAsNumber "yes"
      ?storeDefault   "yes"
    )
    cdfId->perim->minValue = "0.0"

auCdlInfo                      = '(nil)
    auCdlInfo->netlistProcedure    = '_ansCdlCompParamPrim
    auCdlInfo->instParameters      = '(area perim dtemp m)
    auCdlInfo->componentName       = modelName
    auCdlInfo->termOrder           = termOrder
    auCdlInfo->namePrefix          = "D"
    auCdlInfo->modelName           = modelName
    auCdlInfo->propMapping         = '(nil AREA area PERIM perim)

Hi,

The following article should solve your issue:

How to output the area and pj keywords for a diode device in the auCdl netlist file

The link refers to an article not to document. You need to create an account to the Cadence Online Support site to access the link. If you are student you might need to contact with your professor or a person with fully access to Cadence Online Support or you can ask help from Europractice which typically provides support to universities.

As the article describes, in order to print out the area in the auCdl netlist what you need to do is to change the netlistProcedure to ansCdlSubcktCallExtended in the CDF.

Regards,

Dimitra
