Matching components and nets with VXL

Discussion in 'Cadence' started by Suresh Jeevanandam, Mar 23, 2005.

  1. Hi andrew and all,
    With VLE we can put the components and nets inside a "half cell" and
    instantiate them in the toplevel so that the components and nets are
    matched and symmetrical w.r.t. a line.
    But we can not do this with VXL, because the VXL connectivity engine
    can not understand the half cell technique.
    So, whats is the suggested way for laying out things differentially
    with VXL.

    Regards,
    Suresh

  2. David, It is a separate level of hierarchy inside which all the
    differential components and routings resides. The toplevel would contain
    two instances of these half cells. They would be placed in such way that
    one looks like the mirror image of the other.

    VLE does not have to know what these half cells are since it does not do
    any connectivity based stuffs. For VLE half cell is nothing but an instance.

    Thanks for the response,

  3. David, But the schematic would not have the half cells. My question not
    that how to make vxl understand the "half cell", but how to achieve same
    kind of matching without using half cells.

    Thanks for your time.

    Regards,

  4. Use the cloning functionality in VXL.
