Identifying Clocktree Cells

Hello,

I want to pre-process my clocktree cells, in a manner as to find them out and if they are HVT swap them to there SVT counterpart. Is there an easy way to identify the clocktree cells.

    You can identify all the HVT clock cells using: 

    set insts  [dbGet -u [dbGet -p top.nets.isClock 1].allTerms.inst]

     foreach inst $insts {
        set cell [dbGet ${inst}.cell.name]
        if {[regexp {HVT|hvt} $cell]} {
           puts [dbGet ${inst}.name]
        }

    }

    Or you can use:

    filter_collection [all_fanout -from [get_ports <clock_ports>] -only_cells] "ref_name=~*HVT"

    Hope this helps.

    Regards, Prathima.
