Got "model=nmos_5p0" in cdl netlist and cause LVS error

Hi Everyone

When I extract netlist using virtuoso CDL OUT utility, I found in my
netlist I got text of "model=nmos_5p0".
And later I use this cdl netlist to do calibre LVS check, I encontered
error :
"Warning: Undefined parameter "nmos_5p0" ignored in file "...xxxx.cdl"
at line 7072"

What is the problem? Why do I get "model=.." text?

Anyone can help?

Thank you.

Is this analog or digital CDL netlisting? If analog, then it's likely that
there's something wrong with the CDF for the component in question.

If you do Tools->CDF->Edit CDF, fill in the lib and cell name of the component
in question, and then go to the simulation information section at the bottom,
and hit "Edit", set Choose Simulator to "auCdl" what does it say on the form?

Regards,

Andrew.

 

This is an analog netlisting.

My current cdf is:

cdfId->simInfo->auCdl = '( nil
netlistProcedure _ansCdlCompParamPrim
instParameters (model W L X Y)
termOrder (D G S B)
propMapping (nil W L X Y)
namePrefix "X"
)

The netlist I want to get is:
this is what i want to get:

XMM0 Z A vdd! vdd! nmos_5p0 W=... L=... X=... Y=...

and this is what is netlisted instead:

XMM0 Z A vdd! vdd! model=nmos_5p0 W=... L=... X=... Y=...


thanks

I think you may be either using a very old version of the IC tools, or you have
this variable set in your .simrc :

auCdlPrintModelEquals='t

This is covered in sourcelink.cadence.com solution number 11235794 .

Prior to IC5033 USR2, the _ansCdlCompParamPrim netlisting procedure used to
print model= . After that, model was treated as a special case. From
5.10.41.500.3.36 onwards (released April 5 2006) this variable
auCdlPrintModelEquals could be specified to control the behaviour - the default
is nil, so that it prints using the syntax that you want.

Note, I tested this in the latest IC5141 ISR, and it does indeed behave this way.

Andrew.

 

alright, thank you Andrew.
I think the tool version is the root cause.
Thanks a lot.
