Pad Frame Generator

The Pad Frame Generator is part of the LibrePDK and provides the Pad Cell Generator functionality.

It's job is to assemble a ready to use pad frame harness, with ESD protection and power rail wire width properly adjusted for accommodating the intended current driving capacity as well as the intended voltage levels to be used.

Types of Pad Cells produced

Currently we support only simple IO Pad Cell, analog cells, and power cells, complex pad cells still are being in development.

The very special impedance compensated pad cell in the works (High-Speed Impedance-Compensated Pad Cell) is needed in order to hook up DDR4 RAM to our chips or build a PCIe device.
