Advanced Boolean Engine: Is it safe for Pcells?

tweeksii

ABE functions cannot be used in SKILL code for creating Pcells.

--Virtuoso Layout Suite SKILL Reference, Chapter 18

 

When you create SKILL routines within Pcells, use only the following functions:

 The SKILL functions documented in the Cadence SKILL Language Reference; for example, car, if, foreach, sprintf, while.
SKILL functions from the following families:
db      dd      cdf
rod     tech    abe
cst     tx

--Virtuoso Parameterized Cell SKILL Reference, Chapter 1

 

So is ABE safe for Pcells or not??

  • From IC617 ISR9 (due to CCR 1511269) these functions were made available for use in PCells (i.e. they're in the right libraries/executables now). It's just that not all the documentation has caught up yet.

    So yes, it's safe. I filed CCR 1770248 to fix the documentation.
