How to make Assura ignore tie-downs during LVS ?

[jimito13]

Hello,

I am running LVS and i have no errors but the run cannot complete successfully as it gives the following error :

*ERROR* Device 'tdndsx(Generic)' on Layout is unbound to any Schematic device
*ERROR* Device 'tdpdnw(Generic)' on Layout is unbound to any Schematic device.
*ERROR*UnBound devices found

I do not have tie downs in my schematic but they exist in the layout.Is there any way to tell the assura not to consider the tie-downs during the check?My design kit IBM cms9flp.

Thanks in advance for any helpful answer.

Re: tie down LVS error

Your wells need to have their equivalent schematic representation as well. This is usually specific to your DK.

Re: tie down LVS error

can you be more specific?i am talking aboun tie downs (inversely biased diodes is the electrical symbol from the IBM design kit) and not about wells...if i understood your opinion is to place tie downs to the schematic as well,right?Is there any way to "tell" assura (with a switch or something else) to bypass this check?A colleague told me that there is a way to do that with calibre but he didn't known the way to do this with assura...

You already know that the orthodox method is to include it in your schematic. Why try to cheat LVS?

Thanks in advance for any helpful answer.

can you try adding a cell name in the ?ignoreCell list under the "Modify avParameters? I dont have the ibm kit, so I can't give you an example...

Does anybody know how to tell mentor calibre to ignore tie-downs during LVS run?I am using the latest calibre version 2009.

Thanks in advance.
