    [SOLVED] Spectre simulation problem with 32nm IBM pdk: bsimsoi v4.3 is invalid

    Hi everyone, 1. When I did a transient simulation (with an inverter design) in 32nm SOI IBM PDK, Spectre (version 6.1.3.500.14) issued the following warning: - "Model parameter version =4.3 is not valid, reset to default model value = 3". - Then, I double checked the model version of the PDK...

    How to make RAM/ROM memory in IBM 65nm process

    Hi everyone, I am using Cadence with CMOS10LPE IBM library (65nm). my design needs a ROM (1K, 10bit) and a RAM (4K, 10BIT). In order to make those ROM and ROM, I think the most straightforward way is to design their CMOS circuits, simulate them and then do layout. However, this method would...

    Corner simulation with cmos10lpe lib using ADEXL 6.1.3.5?

    Hi All, I am using Cadence ADEXL version 6.1.3.5 to perform Corner Simulation with cmos10lpe. My problem is as follows: Typically, a library provides its users with corner sections such tt, ff, ss in order to allow them to perform corner simulation. However, IBM cmos10lpe does not provide those...

    Triple well tie-down rule in IBM 65nm cmos10lpe process

    Hi everyone, We are using IBM 65nm cmos10lpe process. Our design used a triple-well RF nfet (nfettw_rf). However, when we checked DRC with Calibre, the tool generated the following result: "Triple well tie-down rule: [(T3 not over NW) touching gate] must touch RX, which is electrically...

    2-GHz 3-input analog switch for DAC - Please help

    Hi All, Currently, I am designing a DAC for a high speed SAR ADC. In this DAC, a 2-GHz 3-input analog switch is needed (Please enlarge the below figure for more details). Unfortunately, I failed to find any paper about switch operating at that frequency or thereabout. I also tried with IEEE...

    Virtuoso - Any command to measure area of polygon or path ?

    virtuoso layout measure area Hi all, In Cadence Virtuoso layout editor, is there any command to measure area of a polygon or path ? What I currently do to measure the area of a shape is that I measure length and width using ruler, then calculate its area ( Which is widthxlength for a...

    I have problems with layer selection of Pcell instance

    1. I have a problem with using instance of NMOS Pcell in Virtuoso layout. The thing is that I could not select a specific layer (e.g PC, Metal 1, et.c) inside the instance although I can see that layer. Whenever I click on an instance's specific layer. then the whole NMOS instance is selected...

    Voltage Reference Circuit vs. Voltage Regulator

    voltage reference circuits Hi Onteri, Thank you for you reply. Now, It's clear to me why we need a regulator. However, It seems to me that regulator's ouput voltage is varied with temperature change because threshold voltage and carrrier mobility of pass transistor in a typical regular is...

    Voltage Reference Circuit vs. Voltage Regulator

    voltage reference vs voltage regulator Hi All, Could you pleas let me know the difference between voltage regulator and voltage reference circuits? As I understand, reference voltage circuit aims to provide a voltage which is not dependent on PVT variations. And the purpose of voltage...
