How to run LVS without v2lvs

Hypnus

Hi,

I am designing a mixed signal circuit, while for the digital part I could run LVS directly using .v file from encounter with the standard cell cdl file, but for a mixed signal circuit, and I don't have v2lvs from calibre, we have only assura to run everything, how could I run the LVS......please give me some tips, please...

Thank you really much!

  • OK, I did some experiments and read the documentation for you...

    In the "rsf" (run-specific file), you need to use this kind of construct:

    avCompareRules(
    schematic(
    netlist( cdl "/export/home/myuser/support/playGPDK/file1.cdl" )
    netlist( verilog "/export/home/myuser/support/playGPDK/file2.v" )
    )
    bindingFile("/export/home/myuser/kits/gpdk090_v4.6/assura/bind.rul")
    )

    If you run $ASSURAHOME/tools/bin/cdnshelp and then search for avCompareRules you'll find relevant references. In particular there's a sectionin the Assura Physical Verification Command Reference which details the syntax of the options for the schematic block including the netlist statement.

    There is also a general section in the "Assura Physical Verification User Guide" on "Comparing Layout and Schematic Netlists", and a subsection in that called "Directing the LVS Run with Compare Rules", which explains it pretty well. Given that there are not huge numbers of Assura manuals, finding the information is quite straightforward.

    I also generated the example above using the UI for Assura LVS within Virtuoso.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
