how to instance array more efficiently

weihai

I create a skill code to layout array (only one dimension) like below.  Does the skill has any function code to layout the X-Y array?  Thanks a lot!

    fet_c_Inst = dbOpenCellView(pcLib "fet_center" "layout")
     fet_c = nil

    ;For loop to place nrow of instances
    for(instNumY 1 evalstring(nrow)    ;in Y direction
 
    ;Instantiate fet_center using calculated variables & user defined parameters
      nfet_c = append(nfet_c list(dbCreateParamInst(pcCV fet_c_Inst nil xLoc:yLoc "R0" instNumY paramList)))
    yLoc = yLoc + stepY
     ) ;; for

     Hi,

     

    u can use:

     

    dbCreateParamSimpleMosaic(pcCV fet_c_Instnil t_name xLoc:yLoc "R0" x_rows x_cols x_rowSpacing x_colSpacing paramList)

    First of all, the forum guidelines (the pinned post at the  top of each forum) tell you not to post on the end of old threads (this is very old, 9 years old!). Secondly, this is explained in the documentation for this function (although I just noticed there's a mistake in the documentation as the example should have list(list("l" "float" 5.0)) as the last argument.

    The idea is that you pass a list of lists, where each sublist is a list of the parameter name, type and value. These parameters normally would be the pcell parameters for the instance you are trying to instantiate as a mosaic (at least the pcell parameters you wish to set).

    Andrew.
