Hi, I'm replacing generic ngspice resistors with the
sky130_fd_pr__res_xhigh_po_0p35
type resistors, so I've been using magic's device creator to find the appropriate lengths. The computed resistance in magic is different than the resulting resistance in ngspice. For
w=0.35um
and
l=0.5um
magic reports a value of
3.542kOhm
, but ngspice reports a value of
1.950016kOhm
(.op sim @ 27degC). I'm using @User's
sky130_tests/test_res.sch
as a testbench. A couple questions I have about this: Which value should I use? Does magic use a reference temperature? What are some possible (or known) causes for this discrepancy? In
sky130_fd_pr__res_xhigh_po_0p35.model.spice
I see the subcircuit references `sky130_fd_pr__res_xhigh_po__base`; in
sky130_fd_pr__res_xhigh_po__base.model.spice
, why is the
tnom
parameter commented out? I've included pictures to help show what I'm seeing.
