ACE Backend for GPDK 180nm

ace-gpdk180-1V8

Introduction

The circuits in this repository are backends for AC²E in Cadence GPDK 180nm (1.8V).

Installation

$ git clone  https://github.com/augustunderground/ace-gpdk180-1V8.git

After cloning make sure to adjust the pdk symlink to suit your system.

Device Characterization

For characterizing the src/char.pl script may be used:

$ perl ./src/char.pl [--nmos | --pmos]

This will use the netlists in ./chr to characterize the primitive devices in GPDK-180. If no arguments are given, both NMOS and PMOS devices will be chracterized.

Testing

Tests are implemented in perl:

$ perl ./src/test.pl

This should return no errors and fill the ./src/test/ directory with the results. In case of errors, the corresponding .log files may give insight.
