CDL Import with extra parameters

archive
archive over 17 years ago

I am trying to import a CDL file which contains netlists for a standard cell library.  In addition to W and L, the transistors in the process I am using have parameters for width/finger, total width, and number of fingers. This extra information is in the CDL file, but CDL-In does not seem to be able to read it in. A device mapping file seems to be able to map one parameter name to another, but not to add an additional parameter. Does anyone know of a way around this? I am using icfb 5.10.41. Here is an example of one line from my CDL file:

mxp0 out0 in0 vdd vdd pfet w=1.12u l=0.12u wt=1.12e-06 m=1 nf=1

Thanks,
Jeremy

    Could you please post on the corresponding forum. Here only RTL synthesis and DFT related question should be asked.

    Thanks

    This forum seemed like the best fit, since I am trying to import a library for synthesis, and none of the other forums seemed to fit the question at all. If you can suggest a forum that would be better I'll post there instead.

    Thanks,
    Jeremy
