Astro学习(2)Floorplan

Floorplan分两部分, block level 和 Chip level

今天先写 block level的大致流程

• 1. Execute the axgRectiPlanner command to ensure that the floorplan is ready and that all of the pins are on the origin except for "boundary" mode.
• 选项有
• 
  
• Shape-based

  >>Scale
            >>Ratio
            >>True Length 实际长度
  >>Core Utilization 确定core的使用率
  >>Choice 几种形状的选择

Enter Boundary
--------------------------------------------
Row's direction 选择垂直还是水平

Double Back 选择这个会使得你的两个ROW背靠背

如果你不要背靠背(back to back),会出现如下的效果


Start from First Row
当选择了 Double Back时,如果选择了这个选项,则对于水平的ROW会从最底的那一层ROW就是背靠背的,对于垂直的ROW则会从最左边的ROW开始就是背靠背的

Flip First Row 将 ROW反转,效果如图 (对比之前的图)

• Core to Left
• Core to Right
• Core to Bottom

Core to Top
效果如图

• 2. Load the Top Design Format (TDF) constraints for the rectilinear pins. The syntax is

rPin "pinName" layerNo width height sideNo [order  
[offset]] 

The side number is a positive integer and starts from 1. Given a rectangular shape, the lower left-most edge is the starting edge (side number 1). The side number of the next edge, going clockwise, is 2, and so forth.

• 3. Execute the axRectiPinPlacement command to place the pins according to the TDF constraints.

• 4. Execute the  axgOptimizePinLoc command.
