Technology library Declaration
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: xml
|
|
|
|
<tech_lib lib_type=”string” transistor_type=”string” lib_path=”string” nominal_vdd=”float”/>
|
|
|
|
* lib_type: can be either industry or academia [industry|academia]. For the industry library, a number of transistor types are available and the type of transistor should be declared in the property transistor_type.
|
|
|
|
* transistor_type: This XML property specify the transistors to be used in the industry library. For example, the type of transistors can be “TT”, “FF” etc.
|
|
|
|
* lib_path: specify the path of the library. For example: lib_path=/home/tech/45nm.pm.
|
|
|
|
* nominal_vdd: specify the working voltage for the technology. The voltage will be used as the supply voltage in all the SPICE netlist.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: xml
|
|
|
|
<transistors pn_ratio=”float” model_ref=”string”/>
|
|
|
|
* pn_ratio: specify the ratio between p-type transistors and n-type transistors. The ratio will be used when building circuit structures such as inverters, buffers etc.
|
|
|
|
* model_ref: specify the reference of in calling a transistor model. In SPICE netlist, define a transistor follows the convention: <model_ref><trans_name> <ports> <model_name>. The reference depends on the technology and the type of library. For example, PTM bulk model use “M” as the reference while PTM FinFET model use “X” as the reference.

|
|
|
<nmos model_name=”string” chan_length=”float” min_width=”float”/>
|
|
<pmos model_name=”string” chan_length=”float” min_width=”float”/>
|
|
|
|
* model_name: specify the name of the p/n type transistor, which can be found in the manual of the technology provider.
|
|
|
|
* chan_length: specify the channel length of p/n type transistor.
|
|
|
|
* min_width: specify the minimum width of p/n type transistor. This parameter will be used in building inverter, buffer and etc. as a base number for transistor sizing.
