    Dear all,

    I got a problem while doing the parasitic ext for an op amp.

    The complete amplifier layout was DRC clean and passed the LVS check.
    I also did RCX extracation for all the sub-blocks of the op amp. The
    extraction mode was set to "RC". Everything's fine. However, when I
    tried to run RCX for the complete layout, I got the following errror:
    *FATAL* at "rex": res command file error - imcomplete. (the last part
    of the log file which shows this error was attached below). But if I
    changed the extraction mode to parasitic capacitor only, I can
    successfully get the ext done. Could anyone point where the problem
    is? I'm running Cadence 5.0.33 with Assura 3.1. Thanks much!
    Jay

    Jay:
    Are you running Assura 312 usr1?

  3. I spoke with Jay off line (he emailed me directly) and he isn't using 312USR1 -
    I advised that, as I found some similar problems in 312 (which is what he is
    using).

    Andrew.

  4. Dear Andrew, dear Erik,

    Is there something to say about 3.12 USR1,
    I was to install it very soon?

  5. Bernd,

    I don't understand what you're asking here.

    Andrew.

    Bernd:
    We had several RCX problems with the base 312 release that are fixed
    in the 312 USR1 release. I would recommend you move to the 312 USR1
    release and hopefully your problem will disappear.
