Title: Assura dataAudit Error from LVS?
Post by joel on Nov 12^th, 2009, 1:18pm

Hi All,
When I run Assura LVS, I get a "layout and netlist match" banner window. It furhter offers to show me 'run results', which have two 'dataAudit errors'. I didn't even notice this at first, and have taped out the chip based on the "layout and netlist match" happy-face. I can't find mention of what a dataAudit error is in the Assura documentation I've reviewed. I hope it's not serious, or Boss will be mad! Can anyone explain what a dataAudit error is?

Thanks,
Joel

Joel,

There is a solution on http://support.cadence.com, 11176352, which explains these.

dataAuditErrors are things like "dubious data" (e.g. lines and dots which have no valid meaning, or potential reentrant data). You should look in the log file for warnings - see the solution for more details.

Regards,

Andrew.
