cdl netlist

there are many ways to extract netlist from schematic in the cadence.

I used one among many way. it was cdl extraction method. extraction process is following figure.

Question : in Initialize Environment, Simulator Name is "Other : cdl".

When I want to modify some device or model name, what I have to modify to change device parameter?

symbol? cdl? or any other file?

thanks
 

cadence cdl

You can use CIW menu (Command Interpretator Window or main window that appeared after icfb command) File -> Export -> CDL
After that fill in a form.
To change model name you need to change CDF. Open component you want to change and for simulator -> CDL change model name as you want.
 

cdl netlist format

I think Fom's method is the official method for CDL netlist. Modify it directly in the CDL file as you want
 

cdl cadence

once u extract the netlist you can go to the file whether it has extracted and open it in vi mode or in nedit and edit and save
 

cadence cdl netlist

why use cdl netlist ? Good only for LVS... Model is for simulation, use cdsspice, spectreS, hspiceS, hspiceD for simulation...
 

why use cdl netlist

LVS also uses model name for components. Just to recognize different kind of transistors (5V from 3V for example)
