Is there a particular syntax which can be used for the probe= part of a ccvs instantiation in spectre that would let me refer to something one hierarchy level up?
What I am looking to be able to do is create a cell that has a CDF parameter named probe. I want to instantiate this cell (call it "mycell") into a higher level cell (call it "mytop"). Then I want to have one or more ccvs inside of mycell that can use voltage sources or iprobes in mytop as the probe instance.
The spectre netlist would then look something like:
subckt mycell(out, gnd)
parameters probe
H1 (out, gnd) ccvs type=ccvs probe=../probe
subckt mytop()
myv1 (sig1, gnd) vsource type=pulse .....
myp1 (pr1, gnd) mycell probe=myv1
ends mytop
Thanks
