Problem in importing TSMC65 Standard Cells Library

MAyesh said:

Hi,

I have access to TSMC65n libraries and I tried to import the standard cells library (tcbn65gplus). After adding it in the library path editor, the layout, schematic and symbol views of any cell are not accessible. They don't open!

I looked at the different files extensions, they are different than what is usually there for a schematic or a layout view. These extensions are: sch.cdb , sch.cb% , pc.db and mater.tag.

I appreciate any help to get these views accessible.
Thanks,

I think they are in different format ( cdb ) than the one Virtuoso can understand ( oa ). So, use the Conversion Toolbox --> CDB to OA conversion, convert the library and then add the path of the OA library to library manager

Are you sure about version 6.16? When i tried to give a path of a CDB library I wasnt able and had to convert it to OA
