AMI 0.5um library/Cadence (IC6.1.1.64)

HI,

I'm using AMI 0.5 library (with MOSIS padframe) for a project

I have the required environment variables for this library
export OSUcells=~/osu/osu_stdcells
PATH=$PATH:$OSUcells/flow/bin
export PATH

I also have the .lib file in my working directory.The OSU standard
cell libraries show up in the library manager but when try to draw a
schematic using the schematic editor, I see the OSU_ami05 displayed in
the component browser along with the other libraries but I don't see
the components under it being displayed. Is it an incompatibility
problem with the new version of the cadence or Am I missing something?
Also do we have any library with MOSIS padframe and compatible with
this new version. If so, where can I get them?

Thanks for your help!!

 

I guess that the OSU Library was made in CDB format, and the IC611
just works with OpenAccess... Did you try to convert it using cdb2oa
tool? There is a good tutorial in doing this here:

Maybe I have the library translated in my computer, and I can send it
to you if you want.

 

Yes!!! It would be great it you could send the translated file!!
Meanwhile I would try using the tutorial to convert it!!

Thanks!!

 

Look your email.

 

Hi Vignesh,

Please look at the cdb2oa documentation from your IC stream.
These skill functions tell you about your database type/version
dbGetDatabaseType()/dbGetBuildInfo()

Cheers,
Riad.
