OCEAN: Accessing device parameters

ZoltanT

Hi Everyone,

Is it possible to access the device parameter from the netlsit in OCEAN? I would like to plot some curves as a function of the current density. I can get the current easily, but I need a hard coded number in my ocean to normalize the current. This number will be out of date if the schematic changes. Therefore I would like to ask down the transistor width, number of fingers and multiplier values.

Thanks, Zoltan

    Hi Zoltan,

    pv("/I0/M1" "m" ?result 'instance)

    pv("/I0/M1" "w" ?result 'instance)

    pv("/I0/M1" "nf" ?result 'instance)

    Assuming this is (say) a bsim4 device. You can check what parameters are available by doing:

    selectResult('instance)
    dataTypes()

    and then if "bsim4~instance" is one of the types you can then do:

    outputParams("bsim4~instance")

    Note that to get all this, you'd have to have saved the elements inst entry on the Outputs->Save All form.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
