SKILL CODE OF MASTER Pcell

Sabyasachi

Hi all,

 I am using cadence IC5141. I am using on National Semiconductors 180nm technology(CMOS9). There are some standard pcells in layout library.How to get the skill code of that pcells. When I am compiling to skill it is generating a file which calls the master instance.How to get the skill code of that master instance

 

Cheers 

Sabyasachi


  • Hi Sabyasachi

    SKILL codes for pcells in a pdk are confidential and will not be released. You will not be able to get them. Maybe you would like to describe more on what you are doing just to confirm if you really need the pcell codes.

    Best regards

  • Hi Quek If master pcell SKILL codes are not available then help me other ways. Then if I want to make a pcell where i will be calling those given pcells witth parsing parameters. How to do it . Please help with a short example
  • Hi Sabyasachi,

    Your request is not clear at all, but it sounds like you might want to instantiate a PCell in another SKILL Pcell - if this is the case then there are two functions that you could use to do this:

    dbCreateParamInst and dbCreateParamInstByMasterName

    dbCreateParamInst(
        d_cellView
        d_master
        t_name
        l_point
        t_orient
        [ x_numInst
        [ l_params
        [ b_physOnly ] ] ]
        )
        => d_inst | nil

    dbCreateParamInstByMasterName(
        d_cellView
        t_libName
        t_cellName
        t_viewName
        t_name
        l_origin
        l_orient
        [ x_numInst
        [ l_params
        [ b_physOnly ] ] ]
        )
        => d_inst | nil

    Check out the documentation on pcells (IC614 version).

    I hope that this helps.
