Mentor IBM AMS Technology Design Kits

All components and associated technology files are tailored for IBM processes. Robust design kits and sophisticated models are critical in advanced technology nodes because of decreasing voltages and dimensions, new process complexity and materials, increased performance requirements and application customization.

Associated IBM models

• Models meet stringent analog design criteria with a focus on: C-V, gM, gDS, flicker noise, and matching
• RF models for FETs and passives support high-speed circuit design
• Multiple simulators supported

• 8RF 0.13um CMOS Mixed Signal RF
• 7RF 0.18um CMOS Mixed Signal RF
• 7WL 0.18um SiGe BiCMOS Mixed Signal RF

• 5DM 0.18um SiGe BiCMOS Mixed Signal RF
• 5HP 0.18um SiGe BiCMOS Mixed Signal RF

• Design Architect-IC Symbols with predefined properties for Eldo simulation and SDL and LVS
• Userware to customize the library palettes listing the available components each component
• Open Source Code on all components of the design kit, which provide customers the flexibility to further extend or customize the kit

• Release notes - Unique requirements for the specific design kit and revision history. This file documents which specific Eldo models and DRC/LVS files were used to validate the design kit.
• Installation Guide - Brief description of design kit contents and installation procedure.
• Library Specification.pdf - List of components included in the design kit describing the menu name and associated model names and properties.
• Users Guide.pdf - Users guide and tutorial

• IC Flow 2006.2 or later (To check the version, enter the da_ic -ver command.)
• Eldo version 5.5_1.1 or greater (To check the version, enter the $anacad/bin/eldo - rel command.)
