Power Manager Setup Form

Use the Power Manager Setup form to specify inputs for user-defined settings though registration. The form contains the following tabs.

Tab	Description
Supply Nets	Lets you register certain names or regular expressions as names of power nets or ground nets.
Libraries	Lets you register the libraries-related information for reading the standard and special cells modeling information.
Devices	Lets you register the device and terminal related information for reading the device type and its topology in the design.
In-Design Checks	Lets you define the severity of reporting of a set of predefined and configurable circuit checks and supply states to set multiple voltages for efficient power management.
Export	Lets you register a power net and a ground net from the pair defined explicitly in the setup as a supply set and the associated power domain and port attributes.
Miscellaneous	Lets you specify some generic settings.

The following table describes the fields available on the Supply Nets tab of the Power Manager Setup form.

Section	Description
Registered Supply Nets	Specifies names as names of power nets or ground nets.
Regular Expression Based Registration	Specifies regular expressions for nets in the Power Nets, Ground Nets, Pwell Nets, Nwell Nets, Deep Pwell Nets, and Deep Nwell Nets fields.
Excluded Nets	Specifies names or regular expressions for excluded nets in the Names and Regular Expressions fields.
Monitor Nets	Specifies names or regular expressions for monitor nets in the Names and Regular Expressions fields.
Supply NetSet Properties Prefix	Specifies netSet properties prefix for nets in the Power Nets, Ground Nets, Pwell Nets, Nwell Nets, Deep Pwell Nets, and Deep Nwell Nets fields.

The following table describes the fields available on the Libraries tab of the Power Manager Setup form.

Section	Description
Liberty/Tech Files	Specifies a list of Liberty model library files.
1801 File Binding	Specifies a list of 1801 special cell definition library files.
Reference Library Cells	Specifies the instances of any library or a particular cell in a design, apart from the Liberty cell, as reference libraries.
MLDB Libraries	Specifies project library that can be stored in an Model Library database (MLDB).

The following table describes the fields available on the Devices tab of the Power Manager Setup form.

Field	Description
Library Name	Specifies the library to list the cells that will be registered as various device types.
Category	Specifies the types of cells in the specified library.
Cells	Specifies the list of cells that are available to be registered as various device types.
Device Type	Specifies the types of devices that can be used for registering the cells in a design.
Terminals	Specifies the list of device terminals of the cell, which has been already registered, for registration.

The following table describes the fields available on the In-Design Checks tab of the Power Manager Setup form.

Field/Section	Description
Checks Categories	Specifies the severity level of the results reported for the Level Shifter, Isolation, and Bulk checks and provides the flexibility to add tolerance for power and ground rail supply net voltage values for level shifter checks.
Filters	Specifies filter patterns to filter some of the error and warning messages.
Supply States	Specifies supply states in a design. Use the Add Supply State form.
Use Supply States	Provides a choice to use supply states in a design.
Similar Violations Limit	Defines the maximum number of violations that are similar and should be reported. The default value is `1`. If the value is `0`, all similar violations are reported.
Violations for ports without attributes	Performs checks for the boundary ports that do not have any associated attributes, such as driver or receiver supply sets. By default, in-design checks do not report violations at the boundary ports unless information about the related power and ground nets of the boundary ports is specified using the registration information.
Violations for all net voltages	Reports violations for all net voltages specified in various supply states or different voltage values registered in the Registered Supply Nets table provided in the setup.
Isolation violations for always-on to switched supply crossings:	Reports violations for a missing isolation cell at the always-on to switched supply crossings.

The following table describes the fields available on the Export tab of the Power Manager Setup form.

Section/Field	Description
Supply Sets	Specifies a list of supply sets by making a power net and a ground net from the pair defined explicitly in the setup as a supply set.
Power Domains	Specifies a list of power domains associated with the different sections of the design addressed by a specific supply set.
Domain Name Prefix	Specifies the prefix of the names being assigned to the power domains.
Port Attributes	Specifies a list of ports to avoid ambiguities during the 1801 power intent extraction or the In-Design checks to associate the boundary ports to a power domain.
Consider inputOutput terms for internal power criterion	Identifies supply nets, meeting the LDO net detection criteria, even when the nets are connected to `inout` pin/term.
Consider inputOutput terms for monitor power criterion	Identifies supply nets, meeting the monitor net detection criteria, even when the nets are connected to `inout` pin/term.
Consider symmetrical source and drain for supply tracing	Defines a port with a predefined supply set or power domain that can be checked for the correct or compatible connection at the receiver side.
Use anonymous supply for top level ports	Enables the use of an anonymous supply for the top-level ports instead of the default supply set.

The following table describes the fields available on the Miscellaneous tab of the Power Manager form.

Field	Description
Delimiter	Specifies specific notations for redirect netSets created during the 1801 import flow, automatically generated supply set and power domain names, and so on
Switch View List	Controls the order of the traversal of a design hierarchy during power intent extraction.
Stop View List	Defines the stop point where the design traversal must be stopped by the extractor during power intent extraction
Use Signal Type	Uses the `sigType` attribute of nets for detecting the supply nets during power intent extraction.
Load Setup From Environment	Loads the setup information from the environment. The project-level settings are considered as a part of the final setup.
Use Setup Changes From Environment	Uses setup changes from the environment setup. Any changes that are done to the project-level settings are read and updated.
