Hi, What format do you have the netlist in? Sounds like you want to use something like SpiceIn or VerilogIn to create a schematic from the netlist - don't re-invent the wheel! I wouldn't recommend...
View ArticleForum Post: RE: how to write a SKILL code for PCELL powergrid
Hi Rudy, Andrew is right, assuming that "V3" is your boolean, that is not being passed into the powerGridPcell_via function - you will need to add an argument for this and then use it inside that...

Hi Andrew, please find below my code. Based on what SkillUser said above, to turn on/off layers i just need to create PCell parameters that match cdf parameters. i guess thats what you mean by 'the...

Hi Rudy, You could add a 'when' conditional around your via function where you are calling it from your pcDefinePCell statement, so altering your code it might look like this: ......

Hi Lawrence, Thanks for you reply. However, adding the when condition doesnt help. I still cannot turn on/off the Vias. any other thoughts?? Thanks Rudy

Hi Rudy, You will have to post your code in order for anyone to be able to help debug it. Stating things like "doesn't help" or "doesn't work" provides little or no information that would aid...

Hi Lawrence, sorry about that. please find below my code with the 'when' condition added around the powerGridPcell_via() function ;; Create the PCell, the "drawing routine" is encapsulated in the ;;...

Hi Mauro, The way that Rapid Adoption Kits are stored on Cadence Online Support has changed to be a bit more like the rest of the regular content, and because of that the URL no longer works. You can...
View ArticleForum Post: RE: how to write a SKILL code for PCELL powergrid
Rudy, For various strange historical reasons, you should assume that boolean parameter values are either t/"TRUE" or nil/"FALSE". What's happening in this case is that V1 ends up being "FALSE" when you...

File->Import->SPICE can also read spectre netlists. If you really must do it in SKILL, you'd want to use either the db functions (dbCreateInst, dbCreateNet/dbCreateTerm/dbCreatePin) or more...
