Registering Libraries

Use the registration options on the Libraries tab to register the libraries-related information. This information is used by Power Manager to read the standard and special cells modeling information. It is required to extract the power-related attributes of standard and special cells and avoids the need to access these cells for tracing the related supplies corresponding to the boundary ports.

Use the Liberty/Tech Files and 1801 File binding sections to specify the Liberty models or 1801 special cell definition files as follows:

  1. Click to add and to remove the Liberty/Tech Files.
    Optionally, you can register a cell and bind it to its existing 1801 power intent file. The power-related information is read from the existing 1801 bound to the cell.
  2. Click to add, to modify, and to remove the binding information. It opens the Add 1801 File Binding form.
  3. Specify the values in the Cell and 1801 File fields. Click OK.
This option is commonly used for black-boxing contents of a digital sub-block that has power intent.
