    Hi all,

    How I can generate schematic from a given netlist in Virtuoso?

    Cheers

    What type of netlist do you have? For CDL, you will use File--
    bring up the verilogXL tool from the "Tools" menu

    Hi,

    I am actually not aware of different types of netlist (e.g. as you are
    telling CDL); But briefly my problem is -

    I have a circuit consists of active-devices. After parsing the netlist
    (netlist1) of that circuit, I am generating a netlist (netlist2) which
    corresponds to the small-signal equivalent circuit of the actual
    active-device based circuit. So netlist2 consists only resistances,
    capacitances and voltage-controlled-current-sources (vccs). Now I want
    to generate the schematic which corresponds to netlist2.

    I am not aware how to do this. And again it will be great if you can
    direct me how those importing is done.

    Thanks,
    Samiran

    Hello Samiran,

    i think you want to read this document:
    transrefOA.pdf

    Which is located in the doc directory of your local Cadence
    installation directory.
    <Cadence Inst Dir>/doc/transrefOA

    In this document, you will find a chapter: Netlist import using
    SpiceIn

    I hope this will help you.

    best,

    bubu

    In IC61X, you have File->Import->SPICE - this is more generic than the
    File->Import->CDL which was available in IC5141.

    I have tried importing the netlist through File > Import > CDL...
    option. But I got an error. the error msg written in ni.log file is:

    ############################################
    ERROR (CDLIN-32): The option refLibList is not specified in the
    options file /tmp/cdlInParf03455. This option is
    needed to specify the list of reference libraries for master cells.

    Usage error.


    I provided "CDL Netlist File" & "Output Library Name" as input and
    didn't enter anything for "Parameter File", "Top Cell", "Reference
    Library List" or "Device-map File". Is this causing the problem? Also
    please let me know what exactly is referred to by "Reference Library
    List"?

    Almost certainly you'll need to provide a library containing the transistor,
    resistor, capacitor etc symbols, and a device map file to tell it how to map
    devices in the CDL netlist to components in the library.

    Please read the documentation - it's in the
    <ICinstDir>/doc/transref/transref.pdf document.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
