Virtuoso RF Solution Package Infrastructure Functions

The  SKILL functions in this section are used to represent Allegro component definition (compDef) objects in Virtuoso.

A compDef object has the following attributes:

• Device type
  A unique string that identifies the component definition object.
• Component class
  Valid component classes are IC, IO, DISCRETE, MECHANICAL, PLATING_BAR, DRIVER_CELL, INTERPOSER, IC_PACKAGE, and IO_PACKAGE.
• Package
  A string identifying the package the compDef uses.

In a compDef package, a component is an instance that is identified by a unique string. The compDef package has a:

• List of physical pins that are identified by names, which are usually integers. Each pin is represented as a compDefPin object.
• List of functions, represented as funcDef. These functions have input and output pins that are represented as funcDefPin objects.

The compDefPin objects a mapped to a funcDefPin objects.
