Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated circuit design technology, and specifically discloses a real-time visualization method and system for functional modules. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, functional modules are essentially black boxes for users, whose internal structure is invisible. Users can only view the manual, which is not intuitive, or manually load and view the module through six steps. This six-step process—opening Virtuoso, creating a cell, obtaining the cell ID, loading the function, modifying and assigning variable values, and running the function—is cumbersome and negatively impacts the actual user experience.

[0003] In existing technologies, after modifying the values ​​of functions in functional modules, customers who want to see the function graph after the parameter modification need to reassign values ​​to the functions through a six-step process, which is cumbersome and inefficient.

These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The term "based on" means "at least regionally based on". The terms "one example embodiment" and "one embodiment" mean "at least one example embodiment". The term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc., may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a real-time visualization method for functional modules is shown.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the real-time visualization method for the data module includes:

[0047] Step S101: Convert the manual file in the basic procedure into a text document; the text document includes a functional description of the functional module, a parameter description of the functional module, and several examples associated with the functional module.

[0048] In this embodiment, the specific method for converting a file into a document is as follows: the functions in the basic procedure are automatically extracted by a script and automatically written into a Word document; then, the function name, description, parameter description, result, example, and other information are automatically extracted from the function description, and the document is generated after format processing.

[0049] Step S102: Classify the functional modules contained in the text document by category;

[0050] Step S103: Select the function module for which parameter modification operations need to be performed;

[0051] Step S104: Visualize the functional modules based on the visual analysis of the functional modules;

[0052] Step S105: During the parameter modification operation of the function module, the visual presentation is updated in real time.

[0053] It is understandable that through the above steps S101 to S105, real-time visualization of the logarithmic function module can be achieved. The following will further explain and illustrate the specific implementation of the above steps S101 to S105.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, the content of a text document is presented through a visual interface; wherein the visual interface includes a first presentation window, and the content of the text document can be viewed by interacting with the first presentation window.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, the function module includes a data processing function module, a graphics editing function module, and a Pin function module, wherein:

[0056] Data processing function modules are allowed to be in a called state;

[0057] The graphics editing function module and the Pin function module are allowed to call each other.

[0058] Graphics editing function modules are allowed to call each other.

[0059] One example of this technical solution is that the functional module in this technical solution includes:

[0060] Basic data processing functions: These mainly include functions for processing data, such as getting the maximum value from a list, getting the maximum value of a key layer in a list, and getting the value corresponding to a key layer in a list.

[0061] Graphics editing functions: These mainly include functions for drawing combinations of graphics. For example, drawing a GuardRing, as well as related layer graphics covering the entire GuardRing, and layers overlaid on the Ring.

[0062] Pin function: A function that adds a pin to a graphic.

[0063] Among them, basic data processing functions are generally called, and Pin function and graphics function call each other, as do graphics functions.

[0064] Data processing function: Primarius_pdkFloor(1.2289 0.001)->1.228

[0065] Graphics editing function: Primarius_pdkCreateVia()

[0066] Pin function: Primarius_pdkCreatePin()

[0067] The graphics editing function calls the data processing function Primarius_pdkFloor to process the data, and then creates the graphics.

[0068] Example 1: Calculating the final spacing between through holes: Given the length, we need to calculate the number of through holes and then the spacing between them. Since space is taken as small rather than large, we need to use the Primarius_pdkFloor() function to take a smaller value, otherwise it will exceed the length where the through holes are placed.

[0069] Example 2: Calling the Pin function from a graphical function:

[0070] First, complete Metal 1 on the GuardRing, and then use the graphics combination function to create the GuardRing graphics combination of the device;

[0071] Call the Pin function Primarius_pdkCreatePin() to add pin information to Metal 1.

[0072] Example 3: Pin function calling a graphics function:

[0073] Once the graphic is drawn (Primarius_pdkCreateMOSPath() draws multiple rectangular graphics), it will return the graphic's ID;

[0074] Pass the ID of this graphic to the Pin function(), and add a Pin Name to the graphic with this ID.

[0075] In some embodiments of this application, the process of selecting the functional module that needs to perform parameter modification operations is implemented through a visual interface;

[0076] The visual interface includes a second presentation window, through which all functional modules are presented and selection options are provided for all functional modules.

[0077] In some embodiments of this application, during the parameter modification operation of the function module, the parameter modification operation is implemented through a visual interface;

[0078] The visual interface includes a third presentation window, through which parameters can be modified.

[0079] Specifically, the process of creating a layout design template includes the following steps:

[0080] By visually representing the functional modules, all functional modules can be traversed to obtain the required functional modules.

[0081] Add the required functional modules to the custom layout design template.

[0082] The specific usage of the self-built template is as follows:

[0083] Select the desired function from the Prim keyword dropdown menu, click "Add," and the function on the left will be automatically added to the middle editing box. Edit the parameters: M1, fw, fl, etc., and click the display icon to show the layout graphic. This completes the MOM (Moving Object Model) fingering.

[0084] Select the function required for the second drawing (in this example, we'll choose the same function again), and click the "Add" button again. Add the function at the blank blue cursor position, modify the parameter input values, and click the display icon again to update the layout. Continue in this manner until the entire device drawing is complete. The template construction is now complete. Define the input parameters to the CDF parameters to form the complete PCell code.
