The domain of multivoltage chip design and schematic diagram consistency comparison method
Technical field
The present invention relates to SIC (semiconductor integrated circuit) and manufacture field, particularly relate to a kind of domain and schematic diagram consistency comparison method of multivoltage chip design.
Background technology
In existing chip design, after finishing, chip layout design must carry out domain and schematic diagram comparison of coherence (Layout versus Schematic, LVS), to guarantee the consistance of domain and circuit theory diagrams.As shown in Figure 1, for the process flow diagram of existing LVS, the step of existing LVS comprises from layout data storehouse (Layout Database) step of extracting the step of domain net table (Layout Netlist) and carry out described domain net table and circuit theory diagrams net table (Schematic Netlist) to carry out comparison of coherence (Compare) under LVS design rule operation collection (Runset) environment.Described domain net table can also be modified by domain net table script file, and described domain net table script file is generally MPower.pl file.
In existing chip design, for reducing chip power-consumption, generally adopt multivoltage design, also adopt multi-power domain design.In existing multivoltage chip design, the power pin (pin) of the unit relevant with low-power consumption (Cell) is many.Because in the domain net table of existing automatic placement and routing instrument output, do not support, by the relevant separately output of cell power supply pin of low-power consumption, so it is relatively complicated to be LVS, in prior art, generally to adopt several method below to realize LVS:
First method, modification runset force a plurality of power supply pin of the relevant cell of low-power consumption to be defined as a power supply in runset, make LVS successful, but this kind of method can be brought certain risk, causes LVS can not reflect real situation.
A plurality of power supplys of second method, the cell that in domain, low-power consumption is correlated with are revised and are connected into a power supply, after checking successfully Deng LVS, in domain, change back again original connection, so not only loaded down with trivial details, take time and effort, equally also can bring certain risk, cause LVS can not reflect real situation.
So for existing multivoltage chip design, it is lower that prior art is done LVS efficiency, and there is certain risk to exist.
Summary of the invention
Technical matters to be solved by this invention is to provide a kind of domain and schematic diagram consistency comparison method of multivoltage chip design, can improve checkability and reliability, reduction check risk, save design cost.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the domain of multivoltage chip design provided by the invention and schematic diagram consistency comparison method, is characterized in that, comprises the steps:
Step 1, with script, revise the script file of domain net table.While revising described script file, comprise the steps:
Step 1 A, each power port name of each functional module of finding out chip and the power domain under each power port.
Step 1 B, according to power port name described in each of functional module described in each, in domain net table, add respectively and the module of power port name correspondence and the power port of standard block described in each.
Step 1 C, according to the power domain under functional module described in each, each power supply line title of functional module described in each is increased in described domain net table.
Step 1 D, in described domain net table top-level module, add each power supply line title of functional module described in all each.
Step 2, execution be the modification of described script file realization to described domain net table after revising.
Further improvement is, described script file is executable file MPower.pl, and described script is PERL language.
Further improve and be, described in each, functional module comprises power supply Chang Kaimo piece and can the large class of power-off modular two.
Further improve is that described domain net table also comprises and carries out the domain net table of chip and the step of schematic diagram one causing property of net table comparison after revising.
That the present invention has is simple, advantage conveniently, can improve efficiency and reliability that LVS checks, can save slip-stick artist's physical verification time, increase work efficiency, the present invention can also shorten chip roll off the production line (TAPEOUT) time, improve chip flow success ratio, save design cost.
Accompanying drawing explanation
Below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, the present invention is further detailed explanation:
Fig. 1 is the process flow diagram of existing LVS;
Fig. 2 is the process flow diagram of the inventive method.
Embodiment
Be the process flow diagram of the inventive method as shown in Figure 2, the domain of embodiment of the present invention multivoltage chip design and schematic diagram consistency comparison method, comprise the steps:
The script file MPower.pl of domain net table revised in step 1, use PERL language.While revising described MPOwer.pl, comprise the steps:
Step 1 A, each power port name of each functional module of finding out chip and the power domain under each power port.Described in each, functional module comprises power supply Chang Kaimo piece and can the large class of power-off modular two.
Step 1 B, according to power port name described in each of functional module described in each, in domain net table, add respectively and the module of power port name correspondence and the power port of standard block described in each.
Step 1 C, according to the power domain under each functional module, each power supply line title of functional module described in each is increased in described domain net table.
Step 1 D, in described domain net table top-level module, add each power supply line title of functional module described in all each.
Step 2, execution be the modification of described script file realization to described domain net table after revising.
Step 3, the domain net table that carries out chip and the comparison of schematic diagram consistance net table.
By specific embodiment, the present invention is had been described in detail above, but these are not construed as limiting the invention.Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art also can make many distortion and improvement, and these also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
