How do I write the LEF view of a power pad

I have a set of pads for use in a design and I was wondering which attributes should I put on each pin.

Let's say it has the following pins:

   - inh_vdd, inh_vss, CORE, PAD where the first two are for the pad rings, the CORE pin is to use in the die and the PAD pin is the bonding pad.

I guess CORE would need:

   CLASS CORE

   USE POWER  (or GROUND if this happened to be a ground pad)

What about the inh_vdd and inh_vss? Theyu would not have the CLASS CORE, but would I use USE POWER/GROUND on them too?

   USE POWER (or GROUND)

   SHAPE ABUTMENT

And the bonding pad? Should I put it in the LEF? Or would that cause confusion to innovus or Voltus? And what attributed would it use? USE POWER/GROUND only?

Do I need anything in the LEF to indicate that the pin CORE and the pin PAD are essentially the same thing, just different places on the same power pad?

How to save the cellview of all instances in a top cell faster?

I have a top cell & need to revise all the instances' cellview & export top cell as a new GDS file.

So I write a SKILL code to do so and I find out it will be a little bit slow by using the dbSave to save the cellview of each instance.

Code as below:

let( (topCV subCV )
topCV = dbOpenCellViewByType(newLibName topCellName "layout" "maskLayout" "a")
foreach(inst topCV->instances
subCV = dbOpenCellViewByType(newLibName inst->cellName "layout" "maskLayout" "a")
;;;revise code content
;;;...
;;;revise code content
dbSave(subCV)
dbClose(subCV)
)
dbSave(topCV)
dbClose(topCV)
system(strcat( "strmout -library " newLibName " -topCell " topCellName " -view layout -strmFile " resultFolder "/" topCellName ".gds -techLib " srcLibName " -enableColoring -logFile " topCellName "_strmOut.log" ) )
)

Even if the cell content is not revised, the run time of dbSave will be 2 minutes when there are ~ 1000 instances in topcell. The exported GDS file size is ~2MB.

And the dbSave becomes the bottle neck of the code runtime...

Is there any better way to do such a thing?

How to run a regressive test and merge the ncsim.trn file of all test into a single file to view the waveform in simvision ?

Hi all,

         I want to know how to run a regressive test in cadence and merge all ncsim .trn file of each test case into a single file to view all waveform in simvision. I am using Makefile to invoke the test case.

         eg:-

               test0:

                     irun -uvm -sv -access +rwc $(RTL) $(INTER) $(PKG) $(TOP) $(probe) +UVM_VERBOSITY=UVM_MEDIUM +UVM_TESTNAME=test0

             test1:

                   irun -uvm -sv -access +rwc $(RTL) $(INTER) $(PKG) $(TOP) $(probe) +UVM_VERBOSITY=UVM_MEDIUM +UVM_TESTNAME=test1

          I just to call test0 followed by test1 or parallel both test and view the waveform for both tests case.

        I new to this tool and help me with it

Design variable in assember -> copy from cell view issue

Hello,

I find a strange issue when using design variable -> right-click -> copy from cellview in assembler. Cadence version is IC618-64b. 500.9

In fact, I set the value of variable (e.g., AAA = 100), then after I right-click -> copy from cellview, AAA's is updated to other value. In my opinion "copy from cellview" should only update the missing variable to the list, but not change any variable value. 

Is there any mechanism could change variable value when using "copy from cellview"?

Thanks
