lxSeriesTerms for a 4-port device

FormerMember

Hello,

I have a layout cell, where I want to expand a single schematic instance with the 's' property into several layout instances in series. However, the cell has 4 pins (p1 p2 p3 p4), with 2 pairs (p1 <-> p2; p3 <-> p4), which have to be in series. I tried setting 'lxSeriesTerms' to 'p1 p2', but this does not work (as expected), because all p3/p4 pins then have the same net assigned. Setting it to 'p1 p2 p3 p4' or '(p1 p2) (p3 p4)' does not work as well.

Is it actually possible to use this functionality with a 4-port device?

Best regards
Paul

  • Paul,

    I'm not sure if this is possible - I can't find any example of a non-trivial pair of terminals, i.e. nothing like what you need. It may be possible, but it's not documented - and nobody seems to have reported a need for this (so my suspicion is that it's not possible)

    I would suggest that you contact customer support (sorry, I don't have time to do the experiments myself right now) - it may need an enhancement.

    Regards,

    Andrew
