Hi,
The generation of the DFFRAM macro fails during pdn generation. I know that rebuilding any macros from the non user area is not required. However, as I like to generate a similar macro for my user space area I started the build flow from within the openlane folder to study the build details. The build flow breaks with the following error log:

[INFO PDN-0016] Power Delivery Network Generator: Generating PDN
config: /project/openlane/DFFRAM/pdn.tcl
Error: pdn.tcl, 30 TypeError in method 'microns_to_dbu', argument 1 of type 'double'

[ERROR]: Exit code: 1
[ERROR]: Last 10 lines:

With the following call history:

(file "/openlane/flow.tcl" line 356)
make: *** [Makefile:43: DFFRAM] Error 1

I used the OpenLane and pdk versions as installed by the caravan Makefiles. Also building other macros results in the same error log. Any help is highly appreciated.
