Opinions on Cadence ELC performance for IO/Std cell characterization

[Chethan]

Hi All,

Has anybody used Cadence ELC for IO/Std cell characterization. How is the tool when compared to industry standard tools like Altos?

Thanks,

Halo Chethan,

I hope you are still subscribed to this post. Have you ever managed to use Cadence ELC? And how did you find it. We have created a new standard cell library and would like to characterise it. How would one obtain the SPICE subcircuit and model files that are required by the tool?

Thank you!
