EDB: Siwave analysis from EDB setup

This example shows how you can use EDB to interact with a layout.

Perform required imports

Perform required imports.

import shutil

import os
import time
import pyaedt

temp_folder = pyaedt.generate_unique_folder_name()
example_path = pyaedt.downloads.download_aedb(temp_folder)

targetfile = os.path.dirname(example_path)

siwave_file = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(targetfile), "Galileo.siw")
print(targetfile)
aedt_file = targetfile[:-4] + "aedt"

D:\Temp\pyaedt_prj_D6X\edb/Galileo.aedb

Launch EDB

Launch the pyaedt.Edb class, using EDB 2022 R2 and SI units.

if os.path.exists(aedt_file):
    os.remove(aedt_file)
edb = pyaedt.Edb(edbpath=targetfile, edbversion="2022.2")

Compute nets and components

Computes nets and components. There are queries for nets, stackups, layers, components, and geometries.

print("Nets {}".format(len(edb.core_nets.nets.keys())))
start = time.time()
print("Components {}".format(len(edb.core_components.components.keys())))
print("elapsed time = ", time.time() - start)

Nets 432
Components 531
elapsed time =  0.0

Get pin position

Get the position for a specific pin. The next section shows how to get all pins for a specific component and the positions of each of them. Each pin is a list of [X, Y] coordinate positions.

pins = edb.core_components.get_pin_from_component("U2")
for pin in pins:
    print(edb.core_components.get_pin_position(pin))

True

Delete nets

Delete manually one or more nets.

edb.core_nets.delete_nets("A0_N")

['A0_N']

Get stackup limits

True

Postprocess in Siwave

Open Siwave and generate a report. This works on Window only.
