Is there a way to customize the subckt name from a pcell?

Hi ALL,

I have written a schematic nand2 pcell with w and l can be changed. However, when I instantiate several of them with different sizes in a same schematic, the subckt names for them in the exported CDL are all with _pcell_# suffix (nand2_pcell_0, nand2_pcell_1, ...).

My question is how to change the subckt names from nand2_pcell_# to nand2_#W_#L (eg. W=200n, L=60n, then the derived subckt name is nand2_200n_60n).

Thanks.

This can be done by defining the nlSetPcellName function in your .simrc; enter "nlSetPcellName" in the search box at the top of any Help menu in Virtuoso to find the documentation on how to do this.
