Hi, geniuses.
I wanna ask something about power extraction using starXtract, Calibre Xrc or any others.
I'm looking for a simple way to analize power net resistance on chip.
Let's say that I'm designing a long-thin chip, and I want to know the resistance of power net on edges from the power pad.
Simply, I thought that there might be 2 ways.
1. Although I haven't done before, enable power_extract option of starXtrac, and do simulation.
2. Because the way of No. 1 might take too much time, extract power nets only, and do simulation
LPE net seems to be following.
VDD Pad ---- r/c ---- r/c ---- r/c ----Test Point ---- r/c ....
However, I'm not sure what the name of Test Point node is gonna be.
The question is fairly ambiguous, and I don't exactly know what I have to ask.
Moreover my English sucks, but I sincerely want somebody to solve my head-ache.
