Import Files for Encounter ( Preparing for Encounter)

Mr Aseem
Mr Aseem over 11 years ago

 

Hello

 

I am using Cadence Virtuoso 6.1.2.

Can you please guide me how to create .v files from a schematic ( lets say of an inverter)?

Also, I wish to create .lef file of my standard cell layout design through Abgen.But I get error ABS 218 amd ABS - 262. I have fixed those errors, still it is a problem. Do you know any other way to get - 

 

1.  .v files ( gate-level netlist - design files) 

2   .lef files   ( layout info )

3.  .lib files ( timing info )

I need these files to start working on encounter.

    Hi Aseem

    1. You can generate a verilog netlist from the schematic using "Launch->Simulation->NC-Verilog" function. This requires a license.

    2. You will need to use abstract generator to generate the lef file. Would you please provide more details on the errors?

    3. Please use a cell characterization tool such as Liberate.


    Best regards
    Quek
