Hi, all

Under the cadence schematic design environment, I get a device symbol from the PDK, then attach it to it's model file. In that case, the simulation result is strange and wrong.

If I get the symbol from the analoglib, the simulation result will be all right.

I don't know what happened here. Is it something wrong with the configuration?

Expecting for your reply! Thanks a lot!
 

can you show what error message it shows?
 

A poly resistor.

get symbol from PDK (wrong):
...
section=restypical

// Library name: st09// Cell name: rhr1km
// View name: schematic
subckt rhr1km_pcell24625 MINUS PLUS
R0 (PLUS MINUS) rhr1km
ends rhr1km_pcell24625
// End of subcircuit definition.

// Library name: dcdc03
// Cell name: test_res02
// View name: schematic
R0 (0 vin) rhr1km_pcell24625
...


get symbol from PDK (on another computer, correct):
...
section=restypical

// Library name: st09// Cell name: rhr1km
// View name: schematic
subckt rhr1km_pcell2462 MINUS PLUS
parameters segL=10u segW=1u tc1=-2.432m tc2=8.289u vc1=-23m vc2=-550m
R0 (PLUS MINUS) rhr1km l=segL w=segW tc1=tc1 tc2=tc2 vc1=vc1 vc2=vc2
ends rhr1km_pcell2462
// End of subcircuit definition.

// Library name: dcdc03
// Cell name: test_res02
// View name: schematic
R0 (0 vin) rhr1km_pcell2462 m=1 segL=10u segW=1u tc1=-2.432m tc2=8.289u \
vc1=-23m vc2=-550m

...


get symbol from analoglib:

section=restypical

// Library name: dcdc03
// Cell name: test_res02
// View name: schematic
R0 (vin 0) rhr1km l=10u w=1u
 

In the first casе parameters from CDF not transferred to netlist. Maybe incorrectly installed PDK or spectre view changed.
