Hi,
Our design teams use corner-based extraction cell libraries. These extractions are saved as various views in each cell. We are interested in convenient ways to specify distinct views per corner within an ADE Assembler test.We are not interested in breaking up to multiple tests as updates need to be synced across them.
We are aware that via config views, the CONFIG/<lib>/<cell> parameters can be set on a per-corner basis. This implies one parameter per master lib-cell, which means 10's-100's parameters. This could become untenable to keep them in sync throughout design updates.
Are there ways to simplify the Config view approach? For example, accepting wildcard in the CONFIG parameter names, CONFIG/mylib/abc_*
We've considered using include <file> to include netlists, and change <file> per corner, but we found that include does not accept a variable filename.
Other approaches?
Our Virtuoso version is ICADV12.3-64b.500.9.
Thanks,
Henry
