Schematic editor 2D array signal

SimhanAnalog
SimhanAnalog over 2 years ago

Have we added 2D/multi-dimensional signal support in virtuoso schematic editor? Generally digital blocks use multi-dimensional ports internally. They convert everything to 1D at top level to interface with analog schematic.

There was another interesting request from a digital team if they can use schematic editor to create top level digital connections and generate netlist which is akin to top level rtl rather than creating the rtl manually(or through some script). Basically they wanted something similar to schematic editor but to just do pure digital connections. But schematic editor as far as I remember has this multi-dimensional array signal restriction which they will certainly use. Is there some other GUI tool in the cadence suite that does this digital connections(which also supports 2D or multidimensional arrays)?

    The Virtuoso Schematic Editor still only has single-dimension buses and iterated instances. There are enhancement requests to support this, but some of this is a limitation in the underlying database currently. You should contact customer support.
