How to find and print out the pins of schematic using skill

Hello,

I am not sure whether this is what you are looking for, but you can get the locations of the pins in a given symbol like this:

cell = dbOpenCellViewByType("libName" "cellName" "symbol" "schematicSymbol" "r")
warn("For cell %L, library %L\n" cell->cellName cell->libName)
foreach(term cell~>signals~>term
    termCenterPt = centerBox(car(term~>pins~>fig)->bBox)
    warn("Terminal %L location X = %n Y = %n\n" term~>name xCoord(termCenterPt) yCoord(termCenterPt))
);foreach

This is of course their location in the cellview, in case you need to operate on instances in schematic just transform these coordinates.

Thanks Peter, i tried it but it didn't works...i want the pin names

suppose for above cell names as i browse it...the power pin and gnd pin should reflect

as VDD1 GND1

regards

If you want the terminal names of a schematic, use:

cv=dbOpenCellViewByType(libName cellName "schematic")
termNames=cv~>terminals~>name
dbClose(cv)

Thanks Andrew, is there a way where i can differentiate between power, gnd and io pin and report them simultaneously

if am using above command...it just list out all pin names

or any example to understand

If the Signal Type has been set when the pin was created to "power" or "ground" (this is often automatically set based on the name) - select the pin and do an edit properties on it to check - then you can use this:

  termNames=setof(term cv~>terminals member(term~>net~>sigType '("supply" "ground")))~>name

(note, the database stores the "power" signal type as "supply").

This is the only indication in the database as to the intent of the signal - otherwise we have no way of knowing whether something is for power or ground.

Thanks Andrew!!!!!

Thanks Andrew!!!!!
