Porting Layout is Virtuoso Layout to Encounter

Hi all,

I am new to this forum. I have recently started integrating my first test chip.

I have following problem:

My analog block is laid out in Virtuoso Layout editor and by digital block in Encounter.

How can I port my layout from Virtuoso Layout editor to Encounter. I am very new to Encounter. Can any one tell me some method by which I can port my design from layout editor to encounter where I can combine the two blocks?

Please provide me your suggestions and inputs.

Regards

Nick

    Hi Nick

    If you are using IC61, the openAccess database can be shared with Encounter so you can open the layout directly in Encounter. You can first generate an abstract view of your design using Abstract Generator. If you are using IC5141, you can use Abstract Generator to generate an abstract view and then export it as a LEF file. The LEF file can then be used as input to Encounter.

    Best regards
    Quek

    Well, first read the forum guidelines because you've managed to break numerous of the guidelines. Posting on a 10 year old thread which is unrelated to your issue, and then posting the same question in more than one old thread is the main issue.

    Please start a new thread with sufficient information (you've given virtually nothing).

    Andrew.
