pin information

LakshmanQual

hi Team,

I had a list with some pins of layout.

I need to find those pin info of layout(only corresponding hierarchy and no need of lower instances) of the list like pin coordinates and pin layer. I tried using dbFindTermByName but its not taking names of the lists as input.

In those some pins might be repeated. So need co ordinates of all the locations.

Could you please help me in coding this?

pin1     layer    co-ordinates

pin2    layer     co-ordiantes

....

  • You'll need to expand a bit more. What precisely does your input look like? "A list with some pins of layout" doesn't really explain it very well...

    If it was terminal names:

    termNameList=list("inm" "inp" "outm" "outp" "VDD" "VSS")
    pinInfoList=nil
    foreach(termName termNameList
      term=dbFindTermByName(cvId termName)
      foreach(pin term~>pins
        foreach(pinFig pin~>figs
          pinInfoList=cons(list(termName pinFig~>layerName centerBox(pinFig~>bBox)) pinInfoList)
        )
      )
    )

    At the end pinInfoList would be (maybe) what you want. However, I may have completely misinterpreted your question, since it wasn't clear.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    By doing some other operations, i had a list of pins which are in layout.( A kind of sub-set of all layout pins of that level).

    If cv=geGetWindowCellView() and myList = ("inp" "inm" "out" "VSS" "VDD")

    Is cvId = cv~>view or cv~>viewName ? Both are throwing error. Its showing arg#1 should be a database object (type templete="dt") for "dbFindTermByName"

    cvId=cv  ; (i.e. cvId=geGetEditCellView() or geGetWindowCellView())

    The error (and documentation for dbFindTermByName) should have made that pretty clear - even the quick help in cdsFinder:

    dbFindTermByName(
    d_cellView
    t_name
    )
    => d_term / nil

    Finds a terminal in a cellview.

    If you have a list of pins, are these the pin objects, or the pin figures? If it was pin figures, then you'd just do:

    foreach(mapcar pinFig listOfPinFIgs list(pinFig~>pin~>term~>name pinFig~>layerName centerBox(pinFig~>bBox)))

    As I said, asking a clear question is pretty important here - otherwise we have to guess what your data  looks like.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
