The SREF record describes an instance, or an array of instances.
The header flags byte can have any of the following bits set.
| ANGLE | 0x1 |
| MAGN | 0x2 |
| REFLECT | 0x4 |
| ARRAY | 0x8 |
The SREF record contains the following fields:
| bytes | field name | purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | x | x coordinate |
| 4 | y | y coordinate |
| 8 | angle | rotation angle, if ANGLE flag only |
| 8 | magnif | magnification, if MAGN flag only |
| 4 | cols | array columns, if ARRAY flag only |
| 4 | rows | array rows, if ARRAY flag only |
| 16 | xy[4] | aref points (like GDSII), if ARRAY flag only |
| ? | sname | referenced structure name |
If the ANGLE flag is set, the cell is to be rotated by an angle, in degrees, found in the record. If the MAGN bit is set, the cell is scaled by a value found in the record. If the REFLECT bit is set, the instance will be reflected about the x-axis, as in GDSII. If the ARRAY bit is set, the instance is arrayed, as in GDSII, where x, y, and xy give the three orientation points, as in a GDSII AREF record. Unless the corresponding bit is set, the corresponding data are not in the record.
