ESD instances list .

marbs

 Hi all, 

I would like to ask, how can I make a SKILL file to 

display a list of all ESD instances from the schematic to 

the CIW ? 

 

Thanks in advance, 

Marbs

  •  Hi Marbs,

    This sounds similar to my recent post on finding certain schematic instances, take a look.  To help I will repeat the SKILL code snippet here. 

    
cv = geGetEditCellView()
  => db:0x452bdf92  
    
esdCells = setof(inst cv~>instances rexMatchp("^[eE][sS][dD]" inst~>cellName))
  => (db:0x452bdc12 db:0x452bdc13)  
    
;; show the cell names in a list
    
esdCells~>cellName
  => ("esdBigDiode1" "ESDclampCell")

    The above example is looking for any instance in the current schematic that matches a cellname that starts with "esd" or "ESD", for example. You have not given much information to work with, so I can only assume to find the cells by name, as in the above example, but there could be other ways.  If the instance name were set following a methodology, then you might use a function like dbFindAnyInstByName() which takes the cellview dbId and an instance name as input, e.g. dbFindAnyInstByName(cv "ESD0").


    I hope that this helps you!


    Regards,
    Lawrence.

  • Thank you sir for the reply.

    The code is working fine.

     It is what I need.
