Title: Questions on Cadence tool, icfb
Post by shchangtx on Feb 7^th, 2006, 3:26pm

Dear all,

I am using icfb for some simualtion. The problem I have is;

How to assign different model parameters to each of transistors?

I need to run simulation for device degradation and assuming different levels of degradation to each transistor, I want assign model parameters nmos1 to tr1, nmos2 to tr2....
Because I attached a technology file to library, when I instantiate a tr in schematic, it automatically has the model name from the technology. How can I change it?

One more question is,
Is is possible to get verilog file from schematic view? I have a schematic file and want to get verilog file for it.

Thanks in advance for your help!

If you use transistors from analogLib (nmos4, pmos4, say), you can specify the model name to be whatever you like. Those from a PDK usually have the model names hardcoded to match the device models that come with the PDK.

For a Verilog netlist, you can use Tools->Simulation->Verilog (there's either Verilog or NC-Verilog, but the netlister is the same).

Regards,

Andrew.
