How to create an instance using skill languahe in CADENCE, say NMOS.

I have seen the syntax for creating instance

dbCreateInst( d_cellView d_master t_name l_point t_orient [ x_numInst]
)

To be specific what should I enter for d_master.

Also how can we edit the parameters like width and length of nmos

thanks

cadence skill place instance

Hi,
as i know lenght and width are CDF parameter. you need the instance ID of the device
- instId=nth(3 cvId~>instances) --> you will get the fourth element from the instance list from the schematic with the cvId
then you need the cdfId for this instance
- cdfId=cdfGetInstCDF(instId)
with cdfId~>parameters you can access the device parameters. you have to browse the parameter list and you will find the necessary parameter.

for your first question:
i assume, that you will need the master cellview ID. this is the ID from the device you want to place (library name -> nmos -> symbol). i think you can get it with:
masterId=dbOpenCellViewByType("library" "cell" "cellview")

i hope this will help you.
greetings,
hqqh

hqqh

with cdfId~>parameters it give the ids of the different parameters. Is there a way to get the paramers by name. And also how to change the parameter values.

Thank you very much for your help.

This forum has someone to answer any questions. I wish I had known this long time back.

thanks

d_master=dbOpenCellViewByType("analogLib" "nmos" "symbol")
To modify the parameters, you may use the following statements,
d_inst~>w="10u"
d_inst~>l="2u"
Where w and l are the parameters' name and can be found from CDF Edit Form. d_inst is the instance's dbId, which can be the return value of dbCreateInst, or an element of geGetSelSet(), or an element of d_cellViewId~>instances, or ...

cdf parameter cadence

t_orient = "MX" || "MY"

look in chapter 2 d/b access routines and examine the table for instance

it will have all the orientations as will the manual page for dbCreateInst
