[SOLVED] What all files need to know in Layout and Schemtic design?

[Prashanthanilm]

Hi all,

What all files are required while designing Layout and Schematic?

Eg:CDS_LIB,cds.init

Please explain breifly!!


Thank you

CDS_LIB: contains all the libraries that are you used for the schematic. all these libraries might be using each other in for the top level layout.
cds.init : Cadence internal or users custom files ( user defined cadence .il files) which are uploaded when one invokes cadence.

Thank you artmalik,

Yes, that is known. Similarly what other files are present and please briefly explain them.

 

[artmalik]

There is a libManager.log : which contains all the things you do with manipulating the libraries
cds.log : all the commands that are executed on the cadence CIW window
display.drf : contains the color code and other information for the layers in layout

I am not sure what are you looking for...as most of these files are setup by the CAD team and designers dont need know much about it

That was Helpful,

Thank you.
