Terminal Name Registration for Devices
While traversing through the connections of transistor instances, the Power Manager needs to identify the gate, source, and drain terminals of the registered transistor devices. Therefore, in addition to registering the devices, you need to register the names of the device terminals of these devices. You can register terminal names with an appropriate terminal type in the Power Manager Setup form and subsequently, in the setup file as shown below:
txTermTypeNames (nil
source "s S source SOURCE Source"
drain "d D drain DRAIN Drain"
gate "g G gate GATE Gate"
bulk "b B BULK well SUB"
collector "c C collector"
emitter "e E emitter"
base "b B base BASE Base"
substrate "S BULK well SUB"
)
If you are using a PDK that is not provided by Cadence, it is essential to register the transistors and terminal names to ensure correct extraction of boundary ports and automatic pairing of power nets and ground nets.
