How are Global Pins Mapped during auCdl Netlisting?

In the DFII environment, global signals in a netlist end with a ! character. If you do not want global signals to end with !, you can specify this by using either one of the following methods:

• Click File – Export – CDL to open the CDL Out form and select the Map Pin Names from <> to [] option button.
• In the .simrc file, set the SKILL environmental variable pinMap to 't. This is a boolean variable and can have the value 't or 'nil. This variable when set to 't uses the following rules to map net names:

"+" -> nil
"(" -> nil
")" -> nil
"," -> nil
"/" -> nil
"." -> nil
$" -> nil
"[" -> nil
"]" -> nil
"<" -> "["
">" -> "]"
"!" -> nil

Default direction of global power and ground pins is INPUT.

The SKILL environmental variable hnlMapNetInName can be used similarly. For example:

pinMap = 't

is equivalent to:

hnlMapNetInName = list('("+" nil) '("(" nil) '(")" nil) '("," nil) '("/" nil) '("." nil) '("$" nil) '("[" nil) '("]" nil) '("<" "[") '(">" "]") '("!" nil) )
