Hi Eklikeroomys.
I am so glad that you declare your readiness to help me and answer my question about ELC.
No problem.
I could find ELC User Guide just now.
I am a newbie user in ELC.
Do you have any tutorial or a design flow example with ELC which could learn me the flow?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I do have a tutorial, though it is not very clear, but it helps you to get started. There is not a lot of information available regarding ELC, as you have probably noticed. See the attachment for a tutorial.

What do you need to know about ELC?

 

[graphene]

I now went through the set of commands and executables but not getting of how to instantiate it... I dont know if any files or supporting directories, if so which, needs to added in PWD...

 

[eklikeroomys]

You need the following files in your working directory:

cmd_file (This optional file contains a list of ELC commands to execute in succession. Alternatively, you can interactively enter commands into ELC.)
elccfg (ELC configuration file. Specifies parameters to ELC)
spice_netlist.scs (SPICE netlist containing all circuits to be analyzed.)
setup.ss (This SPICE setup file tells your simulator how to simulate the circuits to be characterized.)

The user guide gives examples for each of these files.
Hope this helps.
