SYNOPSIS
The library directory is defined by the environment variable MBK_CATA_LIB.

DESCRIPTION
The padlib library contains some pad cells used at the UPMC-university.

A pad cell is strongly dependant on the target technology. so there is as many sub-libraries as target processes. In this release the pad15 sublibrary contains pads for a 1.5 microns process. Thoses cells comply with the layout rules defined in the prol15.rds(5) technology file.

 Four files are attached to each cell :

- physical layout    padname.gds
- symblolic layout    padname.ap
- transistor net-list    padname.al
- VHDL behaviour    padname.vbe

The symbolic layout file contains only the cell outline and connectors.
For each cell, you can get detailed information using "man padname".
If you want to use your own padcell library, you must provide these four files.
If you develop new cells, please send the corresponding files to cao-vlsi@masi.ibp.fr List of cells
