Power View
Power view is an OpenAccess view generated corresponding to each cell that is being extracted to export the power intent. The power view stores the following information:
- Set up information of the cellview prior to extraction
- Extracted and/or imported power intent information
- The design information derived from the schematic design (EMH and native OA objects)
- Internal data structures
The power view is co-managed with the schematic view of the design. The view is automatically updated upon extraction when the setup or design changes. There is no need to explicitly load the setup for each successive extraction run until the power view exists for a cell and there is no change in the setup information of the design. The power view by default gets created in the design library within the design cell, adjacent to the design view/schematic. If the parent library is non-editable, lpDBGlobalSearchLibs and lpDBGlobalSearchViews can be used to save the power view in an editable user-defined library. The power view is also automatically purged when the associated schematic cellview is purged for reasons, such as on closing the schematic or calling the dbPurge/dbClose SKILL function.
