pvs (calibre deck) lvs, INCLUDE source.added

Hi there,

I am looking for a way to make pvs ( lvs verification running from
within virtuoso) somehow insert this line into my nestlist:

..INCLUDE source.added

So far the only way i can do it is manually export my CDL with
"include file: source.added" then run pvs on schematic vs netlist.
This is a bit clunky, i'd prefer that i can run pvs on layout vs
schematic but i don't see any option to include the source.added
(though i have tried a few ways so perhaps my syntax is just wrong).

Not strictly a cadence Question but can the .INCLUDE source.added be
written directly into the deck in a different syntax (i tried it as
above but it did not work)?

Thanks

Stu

 

Hi Stu,

I have commented a similar question a little while back.
Please look at:

Hi Stu,

You can make this using the cdlOutKeys skill variable by filling the
'incFile propeorty.
Something like:

cdlOutKeys = list(nil
'runInBackground nil
'cdsNetlistingMode "Analog"
'simLibName ""
'simCellName ""
'simViewName "schematic"
'hnlNetlistFileName "netlist"
'simRunDir "."
'shortRES 2000.000000
'resistorModel ""
'setEQUIV ""
'incFILE "THE_LOCATION_OF_MY_FILE/source.added
"
'globalPowerSig ""
'globalGndSig ""
'resistorCheck "value"
'capacitorCheck "value"
'pinMAP nil
'shrinkFACTOR 0.000000
'diodeCheck '"both"
'checkScale "meter"
'displayPININFO t
'checkLDD nil
)

You might be interested in the comments I put together at a previous
similar thread:

Hi Riad, have you tried this out with PVS lvs?

So it looks to me like cdlOutKeys is effectively the form for CDL out.
That would mean that PVS then automatically refers to cdlOutKeys when
it generates the netlist from the dfII schematic.

I tried this & it does not work for me (so far).

Thanks

Stu

 

Hi Stu,

I haven't tried PVS I'm afraid.
the cdlOutKeys variable is the standard way to deal with CDL outs.
have your tried a Calibre runset otherwise ?

I'll give it a look with PVS at some point.

Riad.
