) ;spacings

Specifies the minimum width and length for a protrusion on a wide wire. The length of the protrusion varies based on the width of the wide wire.

Values

tx_layer	The layer on which the constraint is applied. Type: String (layer and purpose names) or Integer (layer number)
f_width	The width of the protrusion must be greater than or equal to this value.

Parameters

'widthLengthTable (f_wideWidth f_length)
	If the width of the wide wire on which the protrusion exists is greater than or equal to wideWidth, the length of the protrusion must be greater than or equal to length.
'enclosedWidth f_enclWidth
	(Virtuoso Advanced Node for Layout Standard) The width of the protrusion, excluding any portion of the wide wire, must be greater than or equal to this value.
'exceptCutTable (l_distance)
	The constraint does not apply if there exists a via cut on layer cutLayer at a distance less than this value from the wide wire.
'layer tx_cutLayer
	The constraint does not apply if the via cut that is at a distance less than distance from the wide wire is present on this layer. Type: String (layer name) or Integer (layer number)

Examples

• Example 1: minProtrusionWidthLength with widthLengthTable, exceptCutTable, and layer
• Example 2: minProtrusionWidthLength with widthLengthTable and enclosedWidth

Example 1: minProtrusionWidthLength with widthLengthTable, exceptCutTable, and layer

A protrusion on a wide Metal1 wire with width greater than or equal to 0.11 must be at least 0.05 wide and at least 0.12 long. This rule does not apply if a Via1 via cut is present at a distance less than 0.1 from the wide wire.

Example 2: minProtrusionWidthLength with widthLengthTable and enclosedWidth

The following conditions must be met:

• The width of a protrusion on a wide Metal1 wire must be at least 0.05.
• If the width of the wide wire is greater than or equal to 0.11, the length of the protrusion must be at least 0.12.
• The width of the protrusion after excluding any width of the wide wire must be equal to 0.02.
