Virtuoso - align instances to match pin order

Paul Lynch

Hello,

I would like to align levelshifts to match pinout order from a hard IP block.

There are various levelshifter types being used so they need to be in the correct order.

In the past I have used the digital placer for this task reasonable successfully.

  1. Is there a function in IC studio to perform this task?
  2. Is there a function to select or deselect every Nth instance/via selected?
    1. Sometimes need to rotate or flip ever 2nd or 3rd selected device.
  3. Is there a function to drop contacts onto a MOS device gate automatically?
    1. Sometimes this is built into pcells or we have custom SKILL. I need to understand whether to continue supporting existing SKILL functions or IC23 can replace them.

Thanks in advance,

Paul.
