map instance hierarchy to cellname hierarchy

Pirate King

Hello, I have successfully written a skill script to extract operating point data from all MOS from psf dcOp results over sweeps;

It has columns of Device Vsat_marg Vds Vdd temperature <other sweeps>

The Device column is a instance hierarchy such as; /I74/I15/M6  and so on

I want to be able to filter out rows in this table for any MOS instances belonging to inverters, standard logic and cmos switches by grep ing out the selection but I don't know the cellnames these instances belong to. I would also like to know the MOS instance cellname

How do i map the instance hierarchy to a cellname hierarchy? This can be an extra column used for the filtering

Thanks

  • I think you'd have to open the top design and then find the instance at that level, switch into the view below, and repeat for each level. The info won't be in the simulation results or mapping data anywhere. If it's a simple view-switching, this shouldn't be too hard - it's a bit trickier if you've got a config, because the binding may be quite complicated to follow at each level (not impossible, but quite a bit of code).

    I don't think I have anything that does all this efficiently (and I'm sure it would benefit from caching some info along the way to avoid repeatedly starting from the top for each and every hierarchical path).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
