Pin Location

archive

Hello All,
I want to get the pin location of a certain instance [Pad] in the design? Are they any dbCommands to accomplish this?
Thanks for the help.

  • There's several ways to go about getting this information from the db, and I'm not exactly certain from your question what object type you're seeking. It sounds like it is a pin on an IO cell (there can be multiple of course) but at any rate, here are a couple of examples that might help. If they don't, please feel free to post back seeking clarification: Using dbGet style (debuted in 7.1): selectInst IOPADS_INST/Ptdspip15 encounter 2> dbGet selected.instTerms.name IOPADS_INST/Ptdspip15/PAD IOPADS_INST/Ptdspip15/C encounter 3> dbGet selected.instTerms.pt {264.12 1316.13} {251.455 1082.22} Using FE-TCL (long standing db access mechanism): encounter 9> set inst [dbGetInstByName IOPADS_INST/Ptdspip15] 0x18ee84ec encounter 10> dbForEachInstTerm $inst term {Puts "[dbTermLoc $term]"} 528240 2632260 502910 2164440 (these values can be converted to microns with "dbDBUToMicrons")

  • Excuse me for not being clear. Yes, I am looking for pin location of a pad instance. Thanks for the suggestion Bob. FE-TCL is great and it works. I will also try the new dbGet.
