Virtuoso 6.1.5 to encounter

Shameel

 Hi All,

 I have implemented a digital block in transistor level using virtuoso 6.1.5 . I want to do the IO placement for it. The IO library that I had has the following files in it.

=====================================================

--> <folderPath>/BackEnd/

* LEF P & R model             (in <folderPath>/BackEnd/lef)          
  - FOA0I_R33_T33_GENERIC_IO_ANT_V55.3.lef
  - FOA0I_R33_T33_GENERIC_IO_ANT_V55.lef
  - foa0i_r33_t33_generic_io.3.lef
  - foa0i_r33_t33_generic_io.lef
  - header3_V55.lef
* physical compiler database  (in <folderPath>/BackEnd/phycompiler)  
  - foa0i_r33_t33_generic_io.3.pdb
  - foa0i_r33_t33_generic_io.3.plib

--> <folderPath>/TECH/

* Cadence DFII environment files       (in <folderPath>/TECH/dfii)      
  - FOA0I_R33_44.tf
  - cellout.tab
  - display.drf
  - layer.DEFINE
  - pg_sout3.tab
  - pg_sout4.tab
  - streamOut.map
  - streamin.tab
  - txtfont.tab

====================================================

Which is better out of the two options

1. Do IO placement in virtuoso itself

2. Take it to encounter -  (How to do it ?)

 

Thanks,Shameel
