The Portable Cell Libraries of the Freeware Alliance CAD system
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Freeware Alliance CAD system is a set of technology independent libraries plus a set of tools dedicated to digital CMOS vlsi design. We present an overview of the functionalities available within the system libraries, including VHDL behavior, netlist and symbolic layout views for all cells. Both standard cells libraries and custom block generators are detailed, since it is a unique feature of Alliance to provide such portable optimized generators. We’ll also introduce the tools that, used in conjunction with the cells, will help to specify, develop and verify high complexity CMOS circuits.

Teaching the design of a chip under the Cadence Opus environment using the Alliance cell libraries
We wish by this paper share our experience with teaching the design of a chip under the Cadence Opus[2] environment using the Alliance[1] cells libraries. This course is taken by the students of the Master Degree in Integrated Circuits and CAD for VLSI of the university of Pierre et Marie Curie of Paris. The course, organized mainly as laboratory work, is intended to teach first of all an indus...
متن کاملP2Lib: Process-Portable Library and Its Generation System
This paper describes a process-portable library and its generation system called P2Lib. From technology parameters which characterize a fabrication process, P2Lib generates a complete set of standard cell libraries for logic synthesis, logic simulation, and layout synthesis. A distinctive feature of P2Lib is the rapid characterization of timing and power dissipation by an analytic-oriented meth...
متن کاملOpen-Source VLSI CAD Tools: A Comparative Study
The design of electronic circuits can be achieved at many different refinement levels from the most detailed layout to the most abstract architectures. Given the complexity of Very Large Scaled Integrated Circuits (VLSI) which is far beyond human ability, computers are increasingly used to aid in the design and optimization processes. It is no longer efficient to use manual design techniques, i...

متن کاملFreeware solutions for spectropolarimetric data reduction
Most of the solar physicists use very expensive software for data reduction and visualization. We present hereafter a reliable freeware solution based on the Python language. This is made possible by the association of the latter with a small set of additional libraries developed in the scientific community. It provides then a very powerful and economical alternative to other interactive data l...
