A problem with ports mismatch in LVS

Hi

I am working by xfab 0.35um technology to design an op-amp but I have encountered with a problem. When I want to run LVS through calibre an error is appeared "different numbers of ports". The ports of schematic are recognized but for layout shows zero ports. I should mention that the LVS is ok when I use assura and doesn't show any errors. For simplification I tried to test this issue only by using one nmos and one port but error still exists. The images of the simulation are attached. I would be thankful if anyone could help me.


Regards

    Hamid67,

    I had similar issue like this in the past.  The disadvantage of calibre is that it is case sensitive. 

    This is how  you should fix it: 

    In calibre LVS, go to LVS options  and include tab, under include rule statement, write the following:

    SOURCE CASE YES
    LAYOUT CASE YES

    Thanks

    I should also point out that asking questions on a Cadence forum about a tool that isn't from Cadence (Calibre is from Mentor) isn't the best place to get answers, although you may luck out and get an answer as you did here.
