Cdl Export parameters missing |
|
|
Hello,
I have a problem when attempting to extract a valid schematic using
File->Export->Cdl in CIW. The schematic contains a custom 2-port
device(inductor like, made by me) and two pins. The device contains an
auCdl view (copied symbol). The schematic returns no errors or
warnings in Check&Save. The device contains some CDF properties which
I need extracted in the netlist, for example length, number of turns
(CDF names Length and Turns)
In the CDF properties of the device under auCdl I give the following
properties
netlistProcedure: ansCdlCompPrim
instParameters: Len T
termOrder: P1 P2
propMapping: nil Len Length T Turns
namePrefix: L
modelName: [Ind]
the rest are empty. The results of the netlist for the device look
like this
LInd_1 net7 net4 $[Ind]
net7 and net4 are the pin nets and also the modelName but nothing of
the other parameters. I believe I have to use the dollarParameters
somehow, but my attempts were fruitless (the documentation was not
very detailed on this part). I need somehow the other parameters. I
have valid extraction setup for spectre and auLvs but need auCdl too.
Thank you

That's exactly the documented definition of an
inductor for CDL.
In my opinion you can not output any additional
parameters.
The only thing you can have is a third terminal to
substrate, but this is optional, I guess.
Maybe I'm wrong here, if I ,let me know
how you have managed it to output additional parameters,
I'm very interested in.

Re: Cdl Export parameters missing |

I think that you are doing things correctly:
check the type of two properties:
instParameters should be a list
propMapping should be a list
===========================
You can use the procedure cdfDumpAll
to dump the cdf for a library.
cdfDumpAll("LibraryName" "fileName")
the the file: fileName find the section for the
device of interest and look for the auCdl section:
should be something like:
cdfId->simInfo->auCdl = '( nil
netlistProcedure ansCdlCompPrim
instParameters (Len T)
componentName ind
termOrder (P1 P2)
propMapping (nil Len Length T Turns)
namePrefix "L"
modelName "[Ind]"
)

Yes I have checked through the cdfDumpAll and they are lists. I assume
that CIW makes them a list anyway (I put the values through
Tools->CDF->Edit). I hope I'll figure something out, because there has
to be a way to extract the properties to the netlist. If I find
something, I'll let you know
Thanks for your time

Ok, further up in that same section of the CDF dump for the cell do you see
definitions of: Length and Turns ??
i.e.
cdfCreateParam( cdfId
?name "Length"
?prompt "Length"
?units "lengthMetric"
?defValue ""
?type "string"
?display "artParameterInToolDisplay('Length)"
?parseAsNumber "yes"
?parseAsCEL "yes"
)
