Description
This tcl command instantiates a Microsemi primitive macro in a SmartDesign component.
sd_instantiate_macro -sd_name {smartdesign component name} \
-macro_name {macro module name} \
[-instance_name {instance name}]
Arguments
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|
| sd_name | string | Specifies the name of the SmartDesign component. It is mandatory. |
| macro_name | string | Specifies the name of the macro being instantiated in the SmartDesign component. It is mandatory. |
| instance_name | string | Specifies the instance name of the macro. It is optional. By default, the instance name is <macroname>_<index> (index is an automatically generated integer starting at 0 such that the instance name is unique in the SmartDesign). |
| Return Type | Description |

Example
The following Tcl command shows how to use instance of "MX2" multiplexer macro in TOP design:
sd_instantiate_macro -sd_name {TOP} -macro_name {MX2} -instance_name {MX2_0}
The following Tcl command shows how to use instance of "MX2" multiplexer macro in TOP design, in this case creates instance with macro name and index(unique number):
sd_instantiate_macro -sd_name {TOP} -macro_name {MACC_PA}
