Hi everyone, I had a few questions about netlisting in batch mode. By the way, I'm using a third party PDK so I don't have access to any source code/ netlist formatting functions. 1. I'm currently using "si - batch" to netlist schematics and this works fine for "auCdl" and "spectre" netlists. However this fails for "hspiceD" netlists and the error that si gives is "unknown simulator: hspiceD". Is this problem inherent with si, in that it doesn't have pre-defined netlisting functions for hspiceD views (i.e. I need to supply it with hnlHspiceDxxxxxx formatting functions)? I think this is strange since I can netlist hspiceD schematics from Analog Artist so it seems like the functions should be there (& they appear to get loaded in the si.foregnd.log). 2. I can get around problem #1 by using icfb -nograph -replay <skillfile> to emulate the netlisting from Analog Artist but this takes longer than I'd like. So what's the difference between netlisting from Analog Artist & using si? 3. Is there anyway to generically tell the netlister to add a .subckt wrapper around the top level of the design (like a CDL netlist) for all netlist formats? I'd like to do this for a couple of reasons: it makes the netlist more portable if we want to cobble netlists together & it'll be compatible with the parasitic extraction netlist we get. Thanks, Fred
