Variable sizes

Thodoros
Thodoros over 14 years ago

Hello,

Is it possible to use a bus  with a variable size (i.e. bus<0:maxSize>) in schematic editor? (Where maxSize could be a global variable or a parameter to the library).

 Is it possible to use variable size for iterated names of instances (i.e. sramColInst<0:colSize>) or even for pin names?

It could be quite helpful to make a design flexible.

Is there an other way to walk it through?

Thanks in advance,

Thodoros

    Hi Thodoros

    Unfortunately, as of IC614.500.10, it is not possible for bus names or names of iterated instances to use a variable. Kindly request for this enhancement through your local Cadence support so that our R&D can evaluate if this can be implemented.

    Best regards
    Quek
