RC extraction

archive
archive over 17 years ago

Hi all, I need some help.Now I am trying to model power of buses. But I don't know how to get the total RC value of selected nets.(there are thousands of nets so it is impossible to do it one by one) I wonder if there is a way of doing it. and another thing I want to ask is that all nets capacitances are 0. I wonder if it is right. Thanks

    if you use SOCE internal rc extractor, you can use "dbNetCap [dbGetNetByName your_net_name] to report the cap. I am not sure/how if you can report the R this way. If you use a external spef using spefIn spef_file, then you can use "dbNetExtractRCSummary [dbGetNetByName your_net_name] to report both R & C.

    way to wrok around the R problem

    1) extractRC
    2) rcOut -spef temp.spef
    3) spefIn temp.spef
    4) dbNetExtrRCSummary [dbGetNetByName your_net]

    and that should give you toal Cap, total xCap and total R

    I have a question for dbNetExtrRCSummary [dbGetNetByName your_net_name]
    what is the syntax for" your_net_name", if the nets are from ahbso[83] to ahbso[0], how should I input? I did like
    "dbNetExtrRCSummary [dbGetNetByName ahbso]" but there was an error.

    You can try to use {} charactere around you net name:
    dbNetExtrRCSummary [dbGetNetByName {ahbso[0]}]

    Pat.

    does anybody know about what does the values given by  dbNetExtrRCSummary stand for :

    like 17 62.937 0 0 16 204.094, I know 62.937 is capacitance and 204.094 is resistance, what about the others?
