1. CifToCD
ReadCif Command (Jim Gasbarro)
Running the command file CifCDConvert.cm registers a command called "ReadCif" with the command tool which allows one to read cif files in much the same manner as Chipndale files. A "technology" command file must first be run prior to using the ReadCif command which binds cif layer names and ChipNDale layers. A sample command file would look like this:
StanfordCifToCD.cm

← CifToCD.RegisterLayer[$Stanford, "CNW", %CMosB.nwell]
← CifToCD.RegisterLayer[$Stanford, "CND", %CMosB.ndif]
← CifToCD.RegisterLayer[$Stanford, "CPD", %CMosB.pdif]
← CifToCD.RegisterLayer[$Stanford, "CNP", %CMosB.nwellCont]
← CifToCD.RegisterLayer[$Stanford, "CPP", %CMosB.pwellCont]
← CifToCD.RegisterLayer[$Stanford, "CP", %CMosB.pol]
← CifToCD.RegisterLayer[$Stanford, "CC", %CMosB.cut]
← CifToCD.RegisterLayer[$Stanford, "CM1", %CMosB.met]
← CifToCD.RegisterLayer[$Stanford, "CV", %CMosB.cut2]
← CifToCD.RegisterLayer[$Stanford, "CM2", %CMosB.met2]
← CifToCD.RegisterLayer[$Stanford, "CG", %CMosB.ovg]
Note that the technology file binds the layer names under a particular registration key, in this case $Stanford. When the ReadCif command is issued this key must be specified (without the '$' sign):
% ReadCif MipsX.cif Stanford
This allows multiple layer name bindings to be registered simultaneously. For example, using StanfordCifToCD.cm will not interact with the operation of Dracula which registers its layers with the key $EcadErrorsCif.
