  • remove add_global_connect for padframe from the macro
  • Move I2cDeviceCtrl macro slightly for better via connection
  • Increase pdn_stripe width for macro and chip-level PDN
  • Decrease pdn stripe pitch and offset

…ct from macro

There should be no add_global_connect for the padframe in a macro cell.

Move the I2cDeviceCtrl macro slightly to the left for better connection
between the macron on M5 and the chip-level TM1 pdn.

Move the power ground ring from TM1+TM2 to M5+TM1. The connection
between the IO ring and PGR will be estabilished with strips on TM2.
When the PGR is using TM2, it won't have any connection to the IO
cells on the north and south side because the connection strips won't
need vias to connect to the PGR.

Also increase the power strips width for the chip-level and macro
power distribution netweek. Additionally, decrease the pitch and
offset.
