Creating power PADS

MadapusiSriniv
MadapusiSriniv over 9 years ago

Hi All,

I am new to PDN design. I am trying to create power Pads. I defined a MACRO with CLASS PAD, but I am not sure how to place it. Can someone please help me with a clear flow on how to do this?

Thanks.

    you don't say what tool you are using, or much about your design, but if you are trying to place a physical IO (power pad) in Encounter/Innovus, use something like:

    addInst -physical -cell PVSS3DGZ -inst i_PVSS1DGZ_2 -ori R90 -loc 5710 3335
