Hello everyone,
I've just noticed that there is a "spice" cellview from the dropdown list in the create new cellview form. By creating a spice cellview the text editor will open. Where can I find information about the intended use of this cellview type? I was not able to use the appropriate search terms in the knowledgebase, i.e. support.cadence.com. Apparently "spice cellview" was not enough.
I imagine a use-case like this: someone adds a spice model file this way. After creating a symbol and probably some termMapping, the netlister and simulator will pick up the "spice" cellview through switch view list or hierarchy editor. With other words: there is no need to add the spice model file with Setup -> Model Files, and add the "model" CDF parameter in the CDF Editor. Maybe a terminal/port check between the spice netlist and the symbol could have been implemented.
I'm using ICADV12.3.
Thanks!
Zoltan
