Databse of designs fabricated in our lab

This directory contains design databases of chips that have been fabricated and tested. If you want to use some block, it is best to pick it from here to ensure reliability. All these are on ramanujan under /mnt/database. They are also mounted under /mnt/database on other machines. Design details can be found in the respective students' theses.

0.13μm designs

Add INCLUDE /mnt/database/GOLD/cds.database.0p13um.lib to your cds.lib to include all the 0.13μm designs. To include only some libraries, selectively copy lines from this file to your cds.lib. For paths, see cds.database.0p13um.lib.

Library Designer Design
MUTHU_SINGLEBIT_HISPEED (??) Muthusubramaniam NV Decimation filter (fs=3.072MHz, BW=24kHz)

0.18μm designs

Add INCLUDE /mnt/database/GOLD/cds.database.0p18um.lib to your cds.lib to include all the 0.18μm designs. To include only some libraries, selectively copy lines from this file to your cds.lib. For paths, see cds.database.0p18um.lib.

You may also have to add DEFINE /mnt/database/PRABU_PADCELLS designs that use padframes from this library(Not all libraries need this. Try them out without this, and if pad cells and die seal ring is invisible, add this).
