Inherited connection check

Hi all,

I want to check the terminal connection for some device, such as whether the BULK for PMOS is connected to VDD, by using schematic rule check engine. But I have no idea to describe the inherited connection from the top cell. Does anyone know how to do that? Any reply would be appreciated!

Thanks,

I'm not really sure how you are expecting to use the "schematic rule check engine" to do this?

Hi Andrew,

The 'engine' is schRegisterCheckRule.

Given that the checker is run on an individual cellView, I don't think you reliably would have the hierarchical context of the block. Even if you used the "de" (design editor) hierarchical path to where the editor is open, you'd only be checking the resolution for the current occurrence - there may be other occurrences where the PMOS Bulk nodes are resolved to something other than VDD - so I'm not sure this is the right way of solving your problem.

Perhaps you should contact customer support to discuss the bigger problem you're trying to resolve?

Andrew.
