Library characterization using Cadence

HaolinCong

Hi,

I am trying to build a customized standard cell library using cadence. Right now, I met the problem to run the automatic library characterization. I searched online find there is an ELC tools. However, I can't find the ELC in my cadence directory. The packages on our server is ASSURA41, CONFRML161, EDI142,EXT152,IC617,INCISIVE152,INNOVUS162,MMSIM151,PVS161,VIPCAT113 and XCELIUM1704. I was expecting the ELC tools to be under EDI142 folder but couldn't fine it.

Can anyone help me with finding the ELC tools or any other possible way to run the library characterization.

Thank you very much,

    Hi,
    Cadence phased out ELC many years back and migrated customers to Liberate, which is the state-of-the-art library characterization tool of Cadence.

    The ELC did not come with the EDI installation, it was available with ETS (Encounter Timing System), which I do not see in your list.

    Thank you very much. I will try to ask the department if our license includes ETS.

    Other than that,  may I ask is there any other 'academic' (free) way to realize an automatic library characterization. Or I have to write my own scripts?

    Thank you very much,
