Re: Cadence IC 5 parts brower still broken!!! NCSU mess's i
It seems that I've finally found a reason of that pmos imelt blah blah problem. :sm16: When you look in the netlist, there's wrong bulk node connection assigned (gnd! (or 0) instead vdd!). Then there is a positive biased pn junction and therefore huge current flowing through the pmos's bulk node.
idea: The point is to redefine the bulk node of pmos in the netlist or in directly in the pmos symbol cellview to vdd!. Due some incompatibility between IC4** and IC5, the NCSU connection inheritance fails. There is also a conversion utility in CIW tools (analog bulk conversion), but that doesn't seem to work for me. :? so now im going to edit the part symbol view manualy.
Until now I had to get through this with the stupid workaround by using the standard parts from analoglib with NCSU CDK models, which is not that good for all the cellview dependencies in NCSU toolkit, especially by parasitic extraction etc., now i can finally enjoy the NCSU students' good job, it is surely worth it.
best regards
