Reference Libraries or Cells

If the design contains instances of any library or a particular cell, apart from the Liberty cell, it can be read-only, black box, or a reusable block. You can register those as reference libraries. The cells in reference libraries are not edited during the 1801 import flow. If the input 1801 file has a connect supply net command for a instance inside the blackbox cell, the cell is not edited to create the netSet or any supply ports. During import, the hierarchy is traversed to map all the supply nets to the supply set at the instance boundary. You can specify library and cells in the Add Reference Cells form on the Libraries tab of the Power Manager Setup form.

Reference library registration in the setup is as follows:

refLibCells(

("analogLib" "*buf*"))
