Need a quick explanation for back annotating parasitics in IC6.1.4

Hi folks,

 

 

I am currently working on properly back annotating parasitics from the av_analog_extracted view onto the schematic for convenience. But does anyone have any quick tips on how to do this?
 
I am using IC6.1.4, Assura  4.12, and QRC 9.14.
 
Thanks

    Hi bnugent

    You can refer to $CDSHOME/doc/parasim/parasim.pdf. The manual explains specifically about post layout simulation and backanotation.

    1. Create schematic
    2. Create test-bench using schematic
    3. Create config view for test-bench
    4. Create layout
    5. Run Assura LVS
    6. Run QRC parasitic extraction to generate extracted view
    7. Open up config view and switch to extracted view
    8. Open up test-bench from config view
    9. Run spectre simulation
    10. Descend into the subcell schematic from the test-bench schematic
    11. Display parasitics menu from "Launch" menu
    12. Set up parasitics info and do backannotation


    Best regards
