Note that all other layout editors I have used so far had the mouse and the XY display snap to the current working grid. It would be nice to at least have the option to make it work that way. I use multiple grids extensively while doing layout to sp…
Here is an example (BIAS)
BIAS.cir shows the edits I had to do to make LVS work, for example:
* M1 BIASP BIASP VDD! VDD! PMOS L=3u W=40u M=2
M1a BIASP BIASP VDD! VDD! PMOS L=3u W=40u
M1b BIASP BIASP VDD! VDD! PMOS L=3u W…
The M parameter is used in the reference netlist. The problem is that Klayout does not recognize it when reading it. That means I have to edit the schematic netlist for LVS to work.
I agree that the precise mouse positioning makes it easier to select things. I think that in some case having the option to have the mouse snap to the current grid can be useful too.
Just found out combine_devices in the documentation - that appears to be the workaround - but it requires editing the netlist to use the the total W for MOS or total value for capacitors rather that the M parameter. Would be nice if the netlist read…
Thanks, This was a bonehead mistake.
A few questions and comment I have about Klayout:
1. Are there any examples of Pcells for devices such as MOS, Rs, Cs. I looked around some but have not found any yet
2. It would be nice to be able tp control t…
