Static Highfanout Check (static_highfanout)

Description

This checks detect the MOSFETs having gate connected to a highfanout node,

and report nodes having count larger than specified count.

The results are reported into a file with the extension static.xml, which can be read with a web browser.

Syntax

Name static_highfanout parameter=value ...

Parameters

Design check parameters

node

[...]

Nodes to which the check is applied. Default is none.

upth

10

upth is to define the ratio of the width of PMOS (pull-up) and the loading of MOSFETs (with gate connection). The load of transmission gate are also considered. Default is 10.

downth

20

downth is to define the ratio of the width of NMOS (pull-down) and the loading of MOSFETs. Default is 20.

rcut

1e6

The resistor bigger than its value is cut. The default value is 1e6.

Filtering parameters

error_limit

10000

Maximum number of errors reported. Default is 10000.

Wildcard scoping

inst

[...]

Subcircuit instances to which the check is applied. Default includes all instances (inst=*).

xinst

[...]

Subcircuit instances to be excluded from the check. Default is none.

subckt

[...]

The instances of the specified subcircuit to which the check is applied. Default includes all subcircuits (subckt=*).

xsubckt

[...]

The instances of the specified subcircuits that are excluded from the check. Default is none.

depth

8

Hierarchy levels (starting from top, instance, or subcircuit scope) to be checked. Default is 8.
