How CDL Out Translates Instances of Primitive Devices?

You need to define an instance of a primitive device in the schematic so that CDL Out can netlist the instance. CDL Out recognizes instances of only those cells that have both a symbol view and a CDL view. You can store default values of parameters in the symbol view so that they are displayed in the schematic. Store the default values in the CDL view so that they are printed in the output CDL netlist.

To create CDL views, use the Symbol/Simulation Library Generator (S/SLG) described in the Virtuoso Schematic Editor User Guide .

For the complete list of formatting functions (hnlCDLFormatInst) and parameter list variables (hnlCDLParamList) for all the primitive cells supported by CDL Out, see:
