dbAddPinToPinGroup

dbAddPinToPinGroup(
d_diePinGroup
d_inst
)
=> t / nil

Description

(Virtuoso MultiTech Framework Only) Adds the padstack instance to the pin group.

Arguments

d_diePinGroup	The pin group created as a result of dbCreatePinGroup.
d_inst	The padstack instance that is associated with the given pin group.

Value Returned

t	The padstack instance is added.
nil	The operation fails.

Example

In the following example, the footprint cell of a die is modified by creating placeBounds. This is required to associate a pin group with the face (top or bottom) of another specific pin group. Then, a die TILP is instantiated. Finally, dbAddPinToPinGroup is run to associate a padStack to a specific die pin group.

dieFootprint = (dbOpenCellViewByType "testLib" "footprint" "base" "maskLayout" "w")

placeBound1 = (dbCreatePlaceBound dieFootprint "left" list(0:0 100:100) 0 100)

placeBound2 = (dbCreatePlaceBound dieFootprint "right" list(100:0 200:100) 50 100)

pinGroupLeftTop = (dbCreatePinGroup dieFootprint "left" "top")

pinGroupLeftBottom = (dbCreatePinGroup dieFootprint "left" "bottom")

pinGroupRightTop = (dbCreatePinGroup dieFootprint "right" "top")

pinGroupRightBottom = (dbCreatePinGroup dieFootprint "right" "bottom")

pinInstLeftTop1 = dbCreateParamInst(dieFootprint pinSuper "PILT1" 20:20 "R0" 1 list(list("footprintLibNames" "string" "testLib") list("footprintCellName" "string" "pinFootprint_rect") list("footprintViewName" "string" "base") ) )

pinInstLeftTop2 = dbCreateParamInst(dieFootprint pinSuper "PILT2" 20:70 "R0" 1 list(list("footprintLibNames" "string" "testLib") list("footprintCellName" "string" "pinFootprint_rect") list("footprintViewName" "string" "base") ) )

pinInstRightTop1 = dbCreateParamInst(dieFootprint pinSuper "PIRT1" 70:20 "R0" 1 list(list("footprintLibNames" "string" "testLib") list("footprintCellName" "string" "pinFootprint_rect") list("footprintViewName" "string" "base") ) )

pinInstRightTop2 = dbCreateParamInst(dieFootprint pinSuper "PIRT2" 70:70 "R0" 1 list(list("footprintLibNames" "string" "testLib") list("footprintCellName" "string" "pinFootprint_rect") list("footprintViewName" "string" "base") ) )

pinInstLeftBottom1 = dbCreateParamInst(dieFootprint pinSuper "PILB1" 20:20 "R0" 1 list(list("footprintLibNames" "string" "testLib") list("footprintCellName" "string" "pinFootprint_rect") list("footprintViewName" "string" "base") ) )

pinInstLeftBottom2 = dbCreateParamInst(dieFootprint pinSuper "PILB2" 20:70 "R0" 1 list(list("footprintLibNames" "string" "testLib") list("footprintCellName" "string" "pinFootprint_rect") list("footprintViewName" "string" "base") ) )

pinInstRightBottom1 = dbCreateParamInst(dieFootprint pinSuper "PIRB1" 20:70 "R0" 1 list(list("footprintLibNames" "string" "testLib") list("footprintCellName" "string" "pinFootprint_rect") list("footprintViewName" "string" "base") ) )

pinInstRightBottom2 = dbCreateParamInst(dieFootprint pinSuper "PIRB2" 70:70 "R0" 1 list(list("footprintLibNames" "string" "testLib") list("footprintCellName" "string" "pinFootprint_rect") list("footprintViewName" "string" "base") ) )
