Creating power\ground pins for digital modules

Tom Urkin
Tom Urkin over 3 years ago

Hello all,

I have two digital modules created in Cadence DC tool. When I import them to Virtuoso (as Verilog files) they have no VDD and GND pins. In this case i use VDD! and GND! as the power and ground rails for simulation.

However, I would like to separate the power nets - one module will be fed from DC rail V1 and the second from power rail V2 (each module has it own power nets which are not connected).

For that I need to create power and ground pins for each digital module. 

How can do this? Other suggestion are most welcomed. 

Thanks!

    To obtain PG pins in your netlist, you'll need to use write hdl with the-pg flag and declare a power intent. woodoku
