Pad Library from Tanner CES

Student designsmust fit into MOSIS TinyChip units. In AMI 0.5 micron technology this is 1.5*1.5 mm.
Larger designs can be fabricated using multiple tinychip units , but this requires our prior
permission. Pads are 300*300 microns, so the effective circuit area available for your design is 900 *900
microns.

There are two pad frames available for us.

The Pads are available as DFII library. Download the file AMI_PADS.tar.gz.

Unzip the file: gunzip AMI_PADS.tar.gz
Untar the file: tar -xvf AMI_PADS.tar

Add the library AMI_PADS to your library path. This can done by using the Edit menu of
Library Manager. Once the library appears in your library manager , select the cell min_frame
and instantiate it into your layout to use the Pad frame.

Please look at the documentation for a description of the Pad Pins Pads_doc.pdf . Also, you may want to refernce 19. FAQ for AMI 0.5 micron Pad frame to use this pad frame.

Alternatively, we can use a Pad frame provided by UTK AMI_0.5Pads.zip. You need to use "unzip AMI0.5_Pads.zip", then it is unzipped to a library(directory). After you unzip the directory, remove the zip file to save some disc space. This pad frame has re-arranged input output pins and markers on the pads. Do not reference link 19. FAQ for AMI 0.5 micron Pad frame page to use this pad. In the library, there is an example Testframe2 with an inverter connected, you can reference that for your circuit pin connections.
