    How to fix all registers in encounter Reply

    Hi,

    Does anyone know of any automatic way to fix all registers in encounter after CTS?

    It seems like a pretty common task, and I thought I would ping the community before I start digging for a way myself.

    Thanks,

    Manzur.

    proc fixCellPlc {} {
    foreach instName [dbFindInstsByCell SDFF*] {
    dbSetIsInstPreplaced $instName 1
    }
    }


    you have to change "SDFF*" to your reg master name type.

    Hi Manzur,

    I think it is highly advisable to preserve all the clock network (tree) once you have satisfied CTS results .

    Aside the good tcl from li siang for only FF`s ( Does your CTS covers all FF's in your desing ??), i recommend to use .
    #-- Change clock status (PLACED -> FIXED)
    changeClockStatus -clk FE_CTS_ROOT/Z -fixedBuffers -fixedNetWires -useClock

    NOTE : useClock switch has special treatment in routing ( if you specify special attributes like extra space ,top metal layers etc..)
    like Ex .
    #-- Clock routing
    setAttribute -net {@CLOCK} -weight 20 -preferred_extra_space 1

    FYI .

    -fixedBuffers

    Changes the placement status of buffers, inverters, flip-flops, and gating cells from PLACED to FIXED.

    -fixedLeafInst

    Changes the placement status of leaf instances from PLACED to FIXED.

    -fixedNetWires

    Changes status of wires in clock nets from ROUTED to FIXED.

    -fixedNonLeafInst

    Changes the placement status of non-leaf instances from PLACED to FIXED
