REG CADENCE Encounter 90nm/65nm library Files

Music

Hello,

   I would like to know some info. regarding Library files thaat are req for my CADENCE Project at nodes 90nm and 65nm.

what are the necessary files that i need to have when i mean 90nm library files for Encounter. My prof like to get them. SO i am eager to knwo what should be the files so that i will not get any errors when i import my design.

 

Please help me.

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks,

  •  To bring a design into Encounter, you will need LEF files. You need both a tech LEF (defines the layers, vias, and other design info) and LEF files of all the standard cells or macros you may be using. For timing, you will need .lib files for all the cells you're using. That should be enough to get you going. Depending on what else you want to do with your design, there may be other things you'll need, like .cdB files (for signal integrity) or power library files (for analyzing IRdrop, EM, etc.). Sometimes these are provided with the library, but often you need to create them.

  • hi kari

     I have downloaded all the  files for 65nm technology

    how can I hook them up with my cadence software ?? 

  • Hi Sadegh,

     That's a pretty broad question. :-) Which software do you mean? If you are talking about Encounter, then please start with the User Guide, specifically the Data Prep and Importing/Exporting Designs chapters.

  • you 'ld have timing libraries (like slow ,fast,,typical), captables, lef files(tech,macro,standard cell lefs), i/o assignment file,your verilog file, i think these are enough.
  • hi

    my company just but the cadence virtuoso software and the TSMC N65 library.

    I have downloaded the required file from mosis website.
    there are in 4 files as:

    65 nm general-purpose logic (CLN65GP) (36 documents)
    65 nm general-purpose mixed-signal (CMN65GP) (8 documents)
    65 nm low-power mixed-signal (CRN65LP) (26 documents)
    Generic Documentation (12 documents)
      
    in each file there are several PDK files like:
    T-N65-CM-SP-007-K1
    T-N65-CM-SP-007-K2 
    T-N65-CM-SP-007-K3
    and so many others...
     
    whish one I need to use?
    can you help me to link them up to my cadence software?
