Creating EMH compatible net information in a layout view

Sutlieff

Hi experts,

I have an extracted layout view that contains connectivity information.

The layout is flat but the instance name information has preserved the original hierarchy.

For example, instances are named xxx|yyy|zzz

Where "|" is the hierarchy delimiter

I would like to Create instances with the name xxx`yyy`zzz. (backtick. Under the Tilda~ key)

In addition, I have signal name with  the format aaa|bbb|ccc[0]

I would like to create nets with the name aaa`bbb'ccc<0>

I believe the netlist would then be EMH (Embedded Module Hierarchy) compatible if I could do this.

But I get the following when trying to rename instances:

( Original name: Logic|LvSh_sleep_n|pres[9]`M0

 Required new name: Logic'LvSh_sleep_n'pres[9]`M0.   (I was going to change "[" and "]" to "< " and ">" later BTW)

I used the dbSetAnyInstName procedure

*WARNING* (DB-220018): dbSetAnyInstName: The specified input name does not support the Logic`LvSh_sleep_n`pres[9]`M0 hierarchical path name. Use another valid name and then try again.

I got similar messages when using dbRenameNet() procedure on the nets.

Background info: net probing using an extracted view instead of the original schematic is failing because of failure to recognize nets.

Any inputs welcome.

  • Hi Colin,

    Extracted views don't use EMH as far as I know (certainly extracted views for Quantus QRC don't - they use the CDBAFlat namespace to represent hierarchical names). There is very little SKILL support for EMH, but anyway I don't think it would achieve what you want. 

    Probably better to contact customer support over the original problem rather than trying to workaround it by modifying the extracted view.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
