Dear Friends, I am new to Electric VLSI tool and recently joined this group to be part of the community of people using this tool and contribute to this community based on my experience with using other CAD tools. I work as a PDK engineer in the semiconductor industry. I learnt about Electric when I installed Fedora Electronic Lab which includes this tool. I plan on using Electric for mixed-signal designs.
I can see by reading the tools manual and features that this is a powerful tool for digital design. I am trying to find out more about its use in analog circuitry. Many of my designs are going to be for power applications and I am looking into applications such as bandgap, opamps, ramp generator etc. As you might be well aware, in many analog applications you need to create various isolation regions for floating wells etc. These need various custom rings not to mention highly customizable parametrized cells. Q1: Are there facilities in Electric to create so called pcells (terminology generally used in Cadence SKILL based environment) or pycells (terminology commonly used for python based cells)? Q2: Also, for schematic symbols is there capability to create callbacks and parameters associated with the symbols so that one can control say W/L/fingers for a MOS or W/L/sheet rho for a resistor etc or control the way the netlist is generated for spice simulations or LVS? Many thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Electric VLSI Editor" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
