pin class

The pin class is normally created in a cellView using the dbCreatePin() function. A pin is derived from a dbObj, so it can have properties. You can create a logical pin using cellView::dbCreatePin(); to create a physical pin you need to first create a logical pin, then use cellView::dbCreatePort() to assign a physical shape to the pin.

pin::name(const char *name)

Sets the pin's name

char * pin::name()

Gets the pin name.

pin::setDir(db_PinDirection dir)

Sets the pin direction. db_PinDirection can be one of DB_PIN_INPUT, DB_PIN_OUTPUT, DB_PIN_INOUT, DB_PIN_FEEDTHRU, DB_PIN_TRISTATE.

db_PinDirection pin::getDir()

Gets the pin direction.

pin::setShape(db_PinShape s)

Sets the pin shape. db_PinShape can be one of DB_PIN_ABUTMENT, DB_PIN_RING, DB_PIN_FEED.

db_PinShape pin::getShape()

Gets the pin shape.

pin::setUse(db_PinUse use)

Sets the pin use. db_PinUse can be one of DB_PIN_SIGNAL, DB_PIN_ANALOG, DB_PIN_CLOCK, DB_PIN_GROUND, DB_PIN_POWER, DB_PIN_RESET, DB_PIN_SCAN, DB_PIN_TIEOFF.

db_PinUse pin::getUse()

Gets the pin use.

pin::setNet(net *n)

Sets the pin's net.

net * pin::getNet()

Gets the pin's net.

const char * pin::getNetName()

Gets the pin's net name as a string.

dbtype_t pin::objType()

Gets the pin object type as PIN.

pin::setPorts(dbObjList<shape> *ports)

Sets the pin's port (physical shape) list.

[ pin * ] pin::getPorts()

Gets the pin's ports (physical shapes) as a python list.

int32_t pin::getNumPorts()

Gets the number of port shapes for the pin.

pin::addPort(shape *shp)

Adds a port shape to the pin.
