2. Find all a valuable cells in database?

Dbget u top .insts .cell .name

3. Find number of macros and its area?


Dbget [ dbget p1 top. Insts .cell. baseclass block].size

4. Find NAND2X1 area, find number of nand gates placed in that core area?
Dbget [ dbget u p1 top. Insts.cell.name NAND2X1].size
{1.98 5.04}=9.9792

Make sure all your tiehi/lo connections have tie cells (and are not connected to a rail instead): (Gary

Nunn)

dbGet top.insts.instTerms.isTieHi 1

dbGet top.insts.instTerms.isTieLo 1

(Should return "0x0" if all connections have tie cells.

If "1"s are returned, use the following to find the terms that still need a tie cell:)

dbGet [dbGet -p top.insts.instTerms.isTieHi 1].name

dbGet [dbGet -p top.insts.instTerms.isTieLo 1].name
