Hey,
IN2OUT is the timing path for Input port to Output port
IN2REG is timing path form Input to Register[flop]
REG2REG timing path from Register to Register[flop]
REG2OUT timing path from Register to Output port.
Go through some timing concepts to understand the abv paths.
You can find some...
You need to mention the target technology to get specific answer.You can simulate the MOSFET in Virtuoso ADE using Spectre Simulator and observe the Vth value in the Result Browser.
you are using the liberty file which is based on CCS model which is not supported by your tool [RTL Compiler] .
Use the liberty files which are based on the NLDM models. This will solve the problem. CCS models are more accurate than NLDM.
in the techRulesets file you need to mention the following lines
pvsRuleSet ( "default"
( DrcRules "../DRCdeckfilename" )
)
the path to the DRC deck must be a relative path.
Hi mj08,
I'm not familiar with atopTech.
But , I think the issue could be that the nwell is not biased to VDD (if so u must add an VIA to connect the nwell to VDD )
or it could be that you haven't specified the power pins .
Prashanth,
Cadence PVS (Physical Verification tool) is an advanced DRC/LVS engine for DRC and LVS check. PVS is specifically for technology nodes below 45nm.
Cadence Assura is an older LVS engine which can be used for technology nodes above 45nm.. i.e, 180nm, 130nm.etc.,
Summary : PVS for...
Hi,
The toggle rates/switching factors used for both cases may be different . If you do not specify the toggle rates, the Synthesis tool will use an estimate toggle factor , for Power estimation.
Also check if u have applied the correct timing constraint.
Yathin,
the techRuleSets and pvtech.lib files can be created by you..Generally it won't be supplied form the foundry.
however you can find the pvlLVS.rul and pvlDRC.rul files in your Cadence Database. For 180nm process, the DRC and LVS rule files will usually be placed in the Assura Directory...
Hi ,
As Dan rightly mentioned try to design an NCO and use the message signal to modulate the NCO's output.
If u have completed the project by now well and good , else maybe i can help u with it
One word of advice though..why did you wait till the deadline? You could have had a better...
Hi,
As Sharath mentioned both tools do the same job but the quality of synthesis differs based on designs. One thing to point is that RC does not perform hold analysis whereas DC has certain options for hold analysis.
Also to get more insight you can view the following article...
In CIW or cds.log window , go to TOOLS-> lIBRARY pATH EDITOR.._> browse the library folder which u want to add , .after adding the library u need to save it..
Hi , you can find the nmos and pmos model files in UMC folder which will be present in the cadence folder, it'll be of th .scs extension,
open it with some text editor
