createInstResetCDFParamsFile

layout createInstResetCDFParamsFile string "pathAndFileName"

Description

Specifies the path to the file containing the CDF parameters that must be reset to default values during instance creation. Use this environment variable to reset selected parameters for selected libraries and cells to their default values.

The default value is "".

You need to specify each entry in the file using the following format:

"library" "cell" "parameters"

For example, in the following sample entry, in the decap_cell cell of the gpdk090 library, the leftShape rHM1_switch_S parameter is reset to the default value during instance creation.

"gpdk090" "decap_cell" "leftShape rHM1_switch_S"

You can use the asterisk (*) to refer to all libraries, cells, or parameters, as shown in the following sample entries:

"gpdk090" "*" "leftShape rightShape HM1_switch_S HM1_switch_D"

"*" "analog_cell" "*"

The createInstResetCDF environment variable resets all parameters for all cells and takes precedence over createInstResetCDFParamsFile when both are specified.
