Hello,

I am new user in writing UPF for my design. I am starting with very basic stuff and i don't have accessibility to make changes big changes in RTL code. Please look into my below mentioned script and tell me if any changes required? or i can used directly in Design compiler.

a) Do i need changes in tech , lib files also ?
b) Also i need to define these ports in RTL (VSS, TOP_VDD1) or directly i can give in synthesis ?

I have to just deifne upf file as ICC2 latest version mandatory required it. So i am trying to write simple upf for power supply and its connection.
My query is :

1) if i load above upf code , is there any changes required in lib/tech files also.
2)As 'TOP' in above code is my block level design name and all the cells/instances are inside it. I am not sure if in 'domain' i need to mention TOP or something else (as i am writing for first time). Also power nets are inside my TOP block , so we can create port at TOP level?
 

Then I will discuss my problem step by step:

I want to write simple UPF for doing power supply connection for the design. I have top level design (eg name TOP) having 6 different power supplies.I am not sure while defining domain how to use 'TOP' for individual power supplies. Eg i have power supplies A, B, C , D, E all are in the same block TOP.

Code: 
for writing power supply A:

create_power_domain TOP -elements {......}
create_supply_net A -domain TOP
create_supply_net VSS -domain TOP
set_domain_supply_net TOP -primary_power_net A -primary_ground_net VSS
create_supply_port VSS -domain TOP -direction in
create_supply_port A -domain TOP -direction in
add_port_state VSS -state {state1 0.000000}
add_port_state A  -state {state1 1.080000}
connect_supply_net VSS -ports VSS
connect_supply_net A  -ports A
For writing power supply B:

how i can define in the same domain TOP ?

What should be the proper procedure ?
