Arguments
• -in_dir dir1
Input directory where the library/netlist to be converted reside. This could be a full path or a
relative path, relative to where the tool is initiated. Required.
• -file_list list
File list to be converted. It defaults to all files in the given directory if not specified. Default
‘*’.
The file list should only include the library main file(s), which is to be directly included in
the netlist in case of library conversion, or only the netlist file in case of netlist conversion.
Other files, which are included from within those main file(s) are handled automatically. In
other words, each file in the file list should not be included in any other file in the file list.
Each file in the file list should be a standalone file. It should not depend on any other file in
the file list. That is, it should not use any model, parameter, or subcircuit, which is not
defined in it or in any of the files it includes.
• -i eldo_file
Defines a single Eldo syntax file to be used in association with the Spectre netlist. This Eldo
file and any included files from within is handled as Eldo syntax unless the statement
simulator lang=spectre|spice is specified inside.
• -lang eldo|spectre|spice
Changes the default language syntax of the Spectre to Eldo converter. The default syntax is
Spectre.
Specify -lang eldo to set the default language syntax to Eldo. This avoids any need to
specify simulator lang=eldo at the beginning of Eldo files.
Specify -lang spice to set the default language syntax to SPICE. This avoids any need to
specify simulator lang=eldo at the beginning of SPICE files.
• -out_dir dir2
Output directory where the converted files are to be written. This could be a directory name
or a path. This directory is created by the tool. If this directory already exists a warning
