Layout

  • PR Boundary

    Hello, When drawing layout from schematic, there is a PR Boundary option in the 'Generate All From Source' dialog box. It is depicted as a cyan field, that covers other layers. Placing a transistor (or ony other cell) on it makes it invisible (the PR boundary covers it). What is its purpose and...

  • How to modify a automatically generated instance.

    Hi, After inductor cell generation (done with Passive Component Designer - PSD) I made DRC check, that found errors in the layout schematic. The problem is that some vias are placed too near to the edge of the polysilicon Patterned Ground Shield - PGD. I tried to remove the vias or correct the layout...

  • What is the syntax for creating pins withing SKILL

    I tried accessing the documentation, but it seems to be unavailable at my university this year. I was just wondering what the syntax for creating a pin is. I think it is dbCreatePin( ) but i don't know the parameters. Also is there a way to specify what material/metal the pin is created on?

  • Irregular Footprints in Layout Plus and/or Help Migrating Design to Allegro PCB Editor

    Greetings all- I'm trying to use the following RF connector, Radiall R222508000, in a design I'm working on: http://radiall.applixia.net/catalogue/resource?path=PRODUCT/PDF/TDS/coaxialconnectors/R222508000EN.pdf It has irregular pad shapes in the footprint. I've designed the board in Layout...

  • Loss of plane connectivity

    I just recently updated from OrCAD version 14.2 to 16.2. I translated a completed 4-layer design from Layout to PCB Editor.When I open the design in PCB Editor, I have lost all of the connections to the inner plane layers and copper pour areas on the outer layers and all of the power and ground nets...

  • How To Find 1 Unrouted Net?

    I am using OrCAD PCB Editor v16.2 and I have a design that has 1 unrouted net out of 366 nets. I can't find where this unrouted net is. I started by looking for the rats nest, but it doesn't show up. I assume it is a very small disconnect that is difficult to find. Does anyone know a way to find...

  • IC613 crash issue

    Hi, I am using IC613 to create a layout and every time I try to create an instance, it says - "LE-107016 Cannot create a recursive instance placement" even though its not recursive - I created a new library and new cell view. I then click "OK" and continue to create my instance, but...

  • Generating .lib file from layout

    Hi, I am trying to generate my own .lib file from the layout I've designed in Virtuoso. I tried to use SignalStorm, but figured out that I do not have license for it. Could anyone please suggest any other tool to do this? Also, does SignalStorm come along with the standard university package? I remember...

  • saveDerived in Assura doesn't work

    Hi, I am trying to generate fill structures using Assura DRC and therefore want to output the derived layer to somewhere. I am trying to use the saveDerived rule to save it to the extracted view: saveDerived( m2fill ("m2fill" "drawing" ) ext_view ) But nothing happens. I tried copyGraphics...
