Hi all,

I'm trying to model the clock of a clock doubler. The doubler consists of a delay cell and an XOR gate, which generates a pulse on both the rising and falling edge of the input clock. I've created a simple module to evaluate this. In this case, DEL1 and XOR2 are standard library cells. There is a don_touch constraint on both library cells as well as on clk_d.

module top (
input wire clk,
output reg Q);

//Doubler
wire clk_d;
wire clk_2x;
DEL1 u_delay (.I(clk),.Z(clk_d));
XOR2 u_xor (.A1(clk),.A2(clk_d),.Z(clk_2x));

//FF for connecting the clock to some leaf:
always @(posedge clk_2x) Q<=~Q;

endmodule

My SDC looks like this:

create_clock [get_ports {clk}] -name clk_i -period 100
set_clock_latency -rise 0.1 [get_pins u_xor/Z]
set_clock_latency -fall 0.4 [get_pins u_xor/Z]
create_generated_clock -name clk_2x -edges {1 1 2 2 3} -source clk [get_pins u_xor/Z]

The generated clock is correctly generated but the pulse width is zero. I would be expecting that the pulse width is the difference between fall and rise latency but is not applied:

report_clocks:

report_clocks -generated:

clk_2x is disconnected from the FF after syn_generic. What can I do to model some minimum pulse width? Will innovus later on model this correctly with the delay of DEL1?

Hello,

When I draw a Fluid Guard Ring in Virtuoso, the layout is not visible, and instead, "do_something=nil" appears.

When I check the details with Q, it shows the same information as a regular NFGR guard ring, and Ctrl+F also displays the instance name, just like with a regular NFGR. 

Additionally, the Pcells of Fluid Guard Rings from previous projects appear broken. 

The version I’m currently using is not different from the one used in the past. Even when I access the same version as the one used during the project, the Pcells still appear broken.

These two issues are occurring, and I’m not sure what to check. I would greatly appreciate it if you could assist me in resolving this issue.

Hi guys,

Disappearing toolbar or docked menu

Is there a way for the toolbar or floating menu from disappearing when a cells tab is added to a window?

I have created a skill toolbar and it disappeared when I add another cell or tab to a window.

The only toolbars that stay are the ones I have defined in the Layout.toolbar file.

Do I have to add a trigger to keep the toolbars visible or not disappearing from the window?

Hi,

I have synthesized a verilog code. When performing the pnr in innovus it is showing the error "Instance g5891__718 (similar for other) of the cell AND2_X6 has no physical library or has wrong dimension  values (<=0). Check your design setup to make sure the physical library is loaded in and attribute specified in library are correct.

When importing synthesized netlist in virtuoso then it says " Module AND2_X6, instantiated in the top module decoder, is not defined. Therefore the top module decoder will be imported as functional."

Please help what's going on here? 

Hi Cadence, 

I use simvision 20.09-s007 but my computer screen resolution is very high. As a result, the texts are too small. 

In ~/.simvision/Xdefaults I changed that number to 16, from 12. But the signal names in the waveform traces don't reflect the change. 

Simvision*Font: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Other .font changes seem to reflect on the simvision correctly, except the signal names. 

How do I fix that? I dont mind a single variable to change all the texts fonts to 16. 

Thank you!

PS: I found the answer with another post. I change Preference/Waveform/Display/Signal Height. 

Dear all, 

I'm trying to perform an LVS check using Calibre between a layout that was generated by Innovus and the initial netlist generated by Genus. However, once I hit Run LVS on Calibre, it reports the following warnings and recommends to stop the process:

Source netlist references but does not define more than 10 subckts:
DFD1BWP7T
DFKCND1BWP7T
DFKCNQD1BWP7T
DFKSND1BWP7T
DFQD1BWP7T
IND2D0BWP7T
INR2D0BWP7T
INVD0BWP7T
INVD2P5BWP7T
IOA21D0BWP7T
... (and more)

If I proceed the LVS process it shows lots of errors as shown in the following image:

Why Genus doesn't include the definition of those sub circuits in the generated netlist? Is this related to Flat/Hierarchy netlisting? 

I have included my Genus scripts as well as the generated netlist in the attachments (and here - if attachment don't work).

Many thanks,

Anas

Hi Cadence & forumers, 

I am running a conformal LEC with a flattened netlist against RTL. 

The run hang for 5 days at the "analyze abort" step which is automatically launched by the compare. 

The netlist is flattened at some levels so hierarchical flow which I tried didn't help much. The flattened/highly optimized netlist is from customer and the ultimate goal. How shall I proceed now? 

On the a side note, a test run with a hierarchical netlist from a simple DC "compile -map_effort medium" command finished after 1 day or so. 

Thank you!
