RoutingMeshTemplate class#

class laygo2.object.template.routing.RoutingMeshTemplate(grid, tracks: Optional[dict] = None, nodes: Optional[list] = None)[source]#

Bases: laygo2.object.template.core.Template

RoutingMesh describes a two dimensional routing structure over a routing grid.

Public Data Attributes:

Inherited from Template

name

Template name.

Public Methods:

__init__(grid, tracks: Optional[dict] = None, nodes: Optional[list] = None)[source]#

The constructor function.

Parameters

  • grid (laygo2.object.grid.RoutingGrid) – The grid object that this object refers to for constructing routing wires.

  • tracks (dict) – The dictionary that contains track information. The format of its element is “track_name”: [index, “net_name”].

  • nodes (list) –

    The list that contains layout objects to be connected through the routing channel. The element could be either one of the following:

    laygo2.object.physical.Instance, laygo2.object.physical.VirtualInstance, laygo2.object.physical.Rect.

    For Instance or VirtualInstance elements, the netname parameters of their pins need to be set to the name of net (netname) which the pins are connected to. For Rect elements, their netname parameters should be set.

add_node(obj)[source]#

Add a node object to the mesh.

Parameters

obj (laygo2.object.physical.Instance or laygo2.object.physical.VirtualInstance or laygo2.object.pythiscl.Rect) – The object to be added to the mesh as a node.

add_track(name: str, index: int, netname: Optional[str] = None)[source]#

Add a track to the mesh.

Parameters

  • name (str) – The name of the track to be added.

  • index (int) – The index of the track. For a horizontal track, it should be [None, i] where i is the value of abstract coordinate to place the routing track. For a vertical track, it should be [i, None].

  • netname (str) – The net name of the track.

bbox(params=None)[source]#

numpy.ndarray: (Abstract method) Return the bounding box of a template.

generate()[source]#

Generate a routing mesh.

Returns

laygo2.object.physical.VirtualInstance

Return type

the generated routing object.
