Pas Platform Pdk Kit Development And Analysis

PDK design package is a integrated design package. PDK design kits applied in the Cadence Virtuoso platform, and it can help engineer design IC efficiently. It has been widely used in digital and analog mixed signal/RF circuit design to optimize circuit design and improve designing efficiency.In this article, the applications of PDK will be introduced, and analyze the design method of process techfile, PV rule file and PCell(PDK's core) in PAS(PDK Automation System), PDK developed on the platform of PAS is easy-to-use and its development period is short. Moreover, the robustness, high efficiency, flexibility, readability and maintenance of Pcell can be improved in nature. In this article, there is a high voltage Mixed Signal process PDK design package as example. By developing and analyzing these Pcell devices, CDF parameter and Callback function, which are keys of PCell. Think the Pcell's deeper usage for DRC testcase, lodge special condition testcase means, Mirror cases, Pcase and so on. Using these design means, developed Testcase Generator, designed a testcase package for 45nm CMOS technology process, These design package passed integrated testing, which can work in Virtuoso platform very well, it has stabilization and efficiency.
