    function attribute for sequential cells are generally defined by users according to the behavior of the cell and the requirement from STA tools. A stand FF with Q QN as outputs may have,

    cell (myFF)  {

    pin (Q) {

    function : "IQ" ;

    ...

    }

    pin (QN) {

    function : "IQN" ;

    ...

    }

    ff (IQ,IQN) {

    <example, but actual content depends on cell behavior>

    next_state : "D" ;
    clocked_on : "CLK" ;
    clear : "CLR’" ;
    preset : "PRE’" ;
    clear_preset_var1 : L ;
    clear_preset_var2 : L ;
    }

    }
