Translating IC6 libaries to IC5

Hi,

Is there a way to downgrade an IC6 library to IC5? I know it's strange buit in some case it should be the best way to reuse some IP.

Regards,

Giuseppe

    Hi,

    The problems was related to lib.defs file as you wrote, I fixed it but now after the conversion I have some problem with the pin name:

      ERROR   (OACDB-638): Cannot translate pin "68" for terminal "EN" in cellview    
                         'TEST_CONVERSIO "CELLNAME" schematic' because the CDB    
                         master cellview 'basic ipin symbol_xform' is not available.
                         Ensure that the library containing the master is correctly
                         defined in the CDB cds.lib file. If the master is not yet 
                         available in CDB, translate it from OpenAccess to CDB first
                         and then rerun the translator for the remaining cells in  
                         the library.

    Do you have any suggestion?
