LVS with backend kit

NickJ

I'm trying to LVS a design made using a backend kit. 

There's main part of the design was created in the analogue flow which lvs's as every cell has schematics.

The top level of the chip has some standard cell logic cells that have no schematic view, and a digital block created in encounter (this has verilog code associated with it)

I've tried to black box the cells in calibre, but I'm afraid my knowledge of how to do that isn't up to snuff.

Can anyone lend me some advice on how to LVS such a design?

    If you're using Calibre to LVS the design, I think it would make far more sense to ask this question to Mentor (either their support or on their forums, assuming they have them still) as Calibre is a Mentor product, not a Cadence product.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Cheers Andrew, I was hoping someone who uses cadence will have also used Calibre and know how to do this.

    Yes, that's always possible - somebody in the Cadence community may well be able to help you out as many will be using Calibre too.
