Skill code for operating area checks

mayankc
mayankc over 4 years ago

Hi,

I am a beginner in skill coding. I have a requirement that needs to be coded in skill. I wish to create a safe operating area check that executes on the terminals of the top level of a block while turning off everything that is inside the block. It would switch off the checks inside the block using "checklimit_skip_insts" and add a line for each terminal where the limits are checked. The code can pop up a form where the designer can input the min and max voltage limits along with the reference voltage for each terminal in the block.

It could be a simple skill script which reads inst~>instTerms~>name, asks for the reference terminal and creates such a file.  And we will need here a disclaimer inside the file and also in the form.

Can you please help me with a code template that I can start with, to implement this requirement?

Regards,

Mayank.
