+------------------------
+
+The following is a list of known issues with the V0.1.1 IP:

+V0.1.0 Known Limitations
+------------------------
+
+The following is a list of known issues with the V0.1.0 IP:
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The SkyWater SCS8HDLL Release Notes contain information regarding the high density low leakage standard cells available from SkyWater for this technology and its known limitations.
+
+IP Usage
+========
+
+The SCS8HDLL IP contains a variation of high density standard cells with lower leakage power than SCS8HD.
+
+The scs8_hdll library contains two OA libraries, including a techLib reference library. The only library the designer will need to use for the high density low leakage standard cells is scs8hdll. The remaining libraries are necessary as references to this one only.
+
+A list of high density standard cells is not available in V0.1.0. For additional information, please contact SkyWater Technology.

+ 2. .. rubric:: Execution
+ :name: execution
+
+The simple “sv_interfaces” design example was used as the RTL base. Genus synthesized a netlist. The netlist was visually inspected to see what types of standard-cells were included; netlist included DFF, NAND, XNOR, etc. No effort was spent analyzing performance, power, or area (PPA) nor whether the SDC was consumed correctly. Intent was just to verify that a structured netlist was generated. Numerous reports were generated during the synthesis process (area, gates, check_design, etc). A quick inspection of the report files was done just to see that no gross errors were present due to input-file consumption.

+ :name: execution-1
+
+The simulation was run with both the RTL and the netlist instantiated in the testbench side-by-side. Visual inspection of the waveforms of the two modules revealed that they appeared the same. Whereas the netlist is consumed as gates by the simulator, no effort for SDF-annotated simulation was expended.

+
+2. softRules: ERC rundeck
+
+3. stressRules: Sealring checks
+
+4. latchupRules: Latch-up and antenna checks
+
+5. fillRules: Metal fill rundeck is being developed
+
+A clean run for the top 4 rundecks is required for every design.
+
+The metal fill deck is for timing purposes and can be loaded into Quantus; the final metal fill will be added at tapeout.
+
+There is an additional rundeck called cldrcRules.
+
+This rundeck converts all layers to a version ready for tapeout. It also adds in the final metal fill. This rundeck will usually be used at the Foundry only as part of final tapeout process.
+
+.. _execution-3:
+
+**Execution**
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Calibre DRC can be run from within Calibre DESIGNRev:
+
+1. Load the GDS written out from Innovus.
+
+2. Launch “Verification -> Run nmDRC”.
+
+3. At “Rules -> DRC Rules File” enter “$PDK_HOME/DRC/Calibre/<rundeck_name>”.
+
+4. At “Rules -> DRC Run Directory” enter the local directory name with the title of the rundeck, i.e. “<local path>/drc” or “<local path>/stress”.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+One of the Innovus Addenda (shown above) explained how to write out a netlist for Calibre LVS. Below are the steps needed to convert this netlist to spice.
+
+1. FILLER cells must be removed from the verilog. This awk script can be used:
+
+ *awk -f $SW_PDK_ROOT/s8_ip/scs8hdll/scripts/remove_FILLERS.k <netlist with fillers> > <netlist without fillers>*
+
+2. The netlist can next be converted to spice with this script:
+
+ *v2lvs -v <verilog without fillers> -lsp $SW_PDK_ROOT/s8_ip/scs8hdll/cdl/scs8hdll.cdl -s $SW_PDK_ROOT/s8_ip/scs8hdll/cdl/scs8hdll.cdl -o <spice for LVS>*
+
+.. _execution-4:

+------------------------
+
+The following is a list of known issues with the V0.0.2 IP:
+
+It’s possible that one or more NPC.2 drc violations can occur (see drawing below.) When the extent of the abutment of npc layers between two cells differs too greatly a notch can occur. This can be fixed by moving or replacing one of the cells.
+
+This error can be prevented by making changes to the way that cells are placed by the EDA tools. This placement-postprocessing scripting fix has not been implemented at this time.

+
+Overview
+========
+
+The SkyWater SCS8LP Release Notes contain information regarding the low power standard cells available from SkyWater for this technology and its known limitations.

+- Standard Cell LEF: $SW_IP_HOME/scs8lp/scs8lp.lef
+
+ 2. .. rubric:: Execution
+ :name: execution
+
+The simple “sv_interfaces” design example was used as the RTL base. Genus synthesized a netlist. The netlist was visually inspected to see what types of standard-cells were included; netlist included DFF, NAND, XNOR, etc. No effort was spent analyzing performance, power, or area (PPA) nor whether the SDC was consumed correctly. Intent was just to verify that a structured netlist was generated. Numerous reports were generated during the synthesis process (area, gates, check_design, etc). A quick inspection of the report files was done just to see that no gross errors were present due to input-file consumption.

+
+- Standard Cell Verilog Models: $SW_IP_HOME/scs8lp/verilog/*.v
+
+ 3. .. rubric:: Execution
+ :name: execution-1
+
+The simulation was run with both the RTL and the netlist instantiated in the testbench side-by-side. Visual inspection of the waveforms of the two modules revealed that they appeared the same. Whereas the netlist is consumed as gates by the simulator, no effort for SDF-annotated simulation was expended.

+V0.1.1 Known Limitations
+------------------------
+
+The following is a list of known issues with the V0.1.1 IP:
+
+It’s possible that one or more NPC.2 drc violations can occur (see drawing below.) When the extent of the abutment of npc layers between two cells differs too greatly a notch can occur. This can be fixed by moving or replacing one of the cells.
+
+This error can be prevented by making changes to the way that cells are placed by the EDA tools. This placement-postprocessing scripting fix has not been implemented at this time.

+V0.1.0 Known Limitations
+------------------------
+
+The following is a list of known issues with the V0.1.0 IP:
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The SkyWater SCS8LS Release Notes contain information regarding the low voltage low speed standard cells available from SkyWater for this technology and its known limitations.
+
+IP Usage
+========
+
+The SCS8LS IP contains a variation of standard cells with low voltage, low speed, and lower leakage from high threshold voltage FETs. These cells function at voltage supplies between 1.20V and 1.95V, but the timing and power models are valid from 1.60V up to 1.95V. The low to high level shifter cells are capable of shifting from 1.2V to 1.95V. It also contains sleep transistors.
+
+The scs8_hd library contains two OA libraries, including a techLib reference library. The only library the designer will need to use for the low speed standard cells is scs8ls. The other library is necessary as reference to this one only.
+
+The top level cells of interest are described in table 3 on the following pages.

+ :name: execution
+
+The simple “sv_interfaces” design example was used as the RTL base. Genus synthesized a netlist. The netlist was visually inspected to see what types of standard-cells were included; netlist included DFF, NAND, XNOR, etc. No effort was spent analyzing performance, power, or area (PPA) nor whether the SDC was consumed correctly. Intent was just to verify that a structured netlist was generated. Numerous reports were generated during the synthesis process (area, gates, check_design, etc). A quick inspection of the report files was done just to see that no gross errors were present due to input-file consumption.

+ :name: execution-1
+
+The simulation was run with both the RTL and the netlist instantiated in the testbench side-by-side. Visual inspection of the waveforms of the two modules revealed that they appeared the same. Whereas the netlist is consumed as gates by the simulator, no effort for SDF-annotated simulation was expended.

+
+Five Calibre rundecks are available:
+
+1. drcRules: General DRC rundeck
+
+2. softRules: ERC rundeck
+
+3. stressRules: Sealring checks
+
+4. latchupRules: Latch-up and antenna checks
+
+5. fillRules: Metal fill rundeck is being developed
+
+A clean run for the top 4 rundecks is required for every design.
+
+The metal fill deck is for timing purposes and can be loaded into Quantus; the final metal fill will be added at tapeout.
+
+There is an additional rundeck called cldrcRules.
+
+This rundeck converts all layers to a version ready for tapeout. It also adds in the final metal fill. This rundeck will usually be used at the Foundry only as part of final tapeout process.
+
+.. _execution-3:
+
+**Execution**
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Calibre DRC can be run from within Calibre DESIGNRev:
+
+1. Load the GDS written out from Innovus.
+
+2. Launch “Verification -> Run nmDRC”.
+
+3. At “Rules -> DRC Rules File” enter “$PDK_HOME/DRC/Calibre/<rundeck_name>”.
+
+4. At “Rules -> DRC Run Directory” enter the local directory name with the title of the rundeck, i.e. “<local path>/drc” or “<local path>/stress”.

+**Generate** Spice Netlist
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+One of the Innovus Addenda (shown above) explained how to write out a netlist for Calibre LVS. Below are the steps needed to convert this netlist to spice.
+
+1. FILLER cells must be removed from the verilog. This awk script can be used:
+
+ *awk -f $SW_PDK_ROOT/s8_ip/scs8ls/scripts/remove_FILLERS.k <netlist with fillers> > <netlist without fillers>*
+
+2. The netlist can be converted to spice with this script:
+
+ *v2lvs -v <verilog without fillers> -lsp $SW_PDK_ROOT/s8_ip/scs8ls/cdl/scs8ls.cdl -s $SW_PDK_ROOT/s8_ip/scs8ls/cdl/scs8ls.cdl -o <spice for LVS>*
+
+.. _execution-4:

+It’s possible that one or more NPC.2 drc violations can occur (see drawing below.) When the extent of the abutment of npc layers between two cells differs too greatly a notch can occur. This can be fixed by moving or replacing one of the cells.
+
+This error can be prevented by making changes to the way that cells are placed by the EDA tools. This placement-postprocessing scripting fix has not been implemented at this time.

+V0.0.0 Known Limitations
+------------------------
+
+The following is a list of known issues with the V0.0.0 IP:
+
+- In our testcase a single npc.2 DRC violation appeared. This violation refers to a notch between polygons of npc (95.20) inside standard cells that abut. This problem is being investigated. A simple fix at this time is to move the offending cells to new locations.
+
+ **scs8ms_dfrtp_1** cell is on the right.

+Overview
+========
+
+The SkyWater SCS8MS Release Notes contain information regarding the low voltage high speed standard cells available from SkyWater for this technology and its known limitations.
+
+IP Usage
+========
+
+The SCS8MS IP contains a variation of standard cells that utilize low voltage high speed logic blocks in the SKY130 technology.
+
+The scs8_ms library contains two OA libraries, including a techLib reference library. The only library the designer will need to use for these standard cells is scs8ms. The remaining libraries are necessary as references to this one only.
+
+A list of these standard cells is not available in V0.0.1. For additional information, please contact SkyWater Technology.

+
+The simple “sv_interfaces” design example was used as the RTL base. Genus synthesized a netlist. The netlist was visually inspected to see what types of standard-cells were included; netlist included DFF, NAND, XNOR, etc. No effort was spent analyzing performance, power, or area (PPA) nor whether the SDC was consumed correctly. Intent was just to verify that a structured netlist was generated. Numerous reports were generated during the synthesis process (area, gates, check_design, etc). A quick inspection of the report files was done just to see that no gross errors were present due to input-file consumption.

+Calibre DRC can be run from within Calibre DESIGNRev:
+
+1. Load the GDS written out from Innovus.
+
+2. Launch “Verification -> Run nmDRC”.
+
+3. At “Rules -> DRC Rules File” enter “$PDK_HOME/DRC/Calibre/<rundeck_name>”.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To ensure proper execution with the correct settings, Calibre LVS should be run using one of these two runsets:
+
+- Calibre LVS, standard runset: $PDK_HOME/LVS/Calibre/s8_lvs_runset
+
+- Calibre LVS, runset with custom include file: $PDK_HOME/LVS/Calibre/s8_lvs_runset_include
+
+The runsets are identical, except the second runset allows the use of a custom include file. This fill must be called “Calibre_LVS_Include” and must reside in the user’s project directory. The custom include file allows the user to specify additional LVS settings. For example, the s8fmlt_8k_sys cell requires schematic diodes to be filtered to give clean LVS; in this case, the “Calibre_LVS_Include” file should contain this line:
+
+LVS FILTER D OPEN SOURCE
+
+Both runsets load the following Calibre LVS rule file:
