Cadence Virtuoso Default Libraries

vijaykpd
vijaykpd over 8 years ago

Hi

I am very new to the cadence tools. I would like to know what are the default libraries the cadence provides in the virtuoso environment such as analoglib, basic etc. I think the list may me many. But I very much interested to know the libraries which provides working schematics for digital devices such as counters, decoders, multiplexers, op amp, switch, comparator, ADC, DAC etc. Or do we have any example schematics provided by cadence. This will help me to know whether I can reuse the existing examples or build from scratch

Please guide me.

    Hi Vijaykpd,

    There are many RAKS (rapid adoption kits), examples, etc. available on Cadence Online Support .  Your best bet is to look at the many RAKs we have available.

    We do have example libraries/workshops in the software hierarchy.  This is just a sample of what's available.   There's more information on Cadence Online Support.   Disclaimer:  I'm not overly familiar with the digital libraries. (I'm more of an analog/rf person).

    • In the software hierarchy at <path_to_spectre>/tools.lnx86/spectre/examples/ there are a number of workshops/examples in these directories:

    ACMatch/        EMIR_workshop/        SpectreCircuitChecks/

    SpectreRF_workshop/        SpectreXPSMS_workshop/        DCMatch/

    MDL_workshop/        SpectrePSPICE_Workshop/        SpectreStitching/      StbWorkshop/

    • In the software hierarchy at <path_to_ic617>/tools.lnx86/dfII/samples/artist there are a number of directories you can peruse:

    aExamples/    bmslib/    mixSig/    OCEAN/    pllLib/    rfExamples/    rfTlineLib/   spectreHDL/
    ahdlLib/    models/     passiveLib/     pllMMLib/     rfLib/     solutions/     training/

    • And in <path_to_ic617>/tools.lnx86/dfII/etc/cdslib there is:

    artist/     basic/     vsdp/

    analogLib is under the artist directory
