TDL(test Description language) is propreriatry pattern format of TI. Usually TI Test engineer accepts the production pattern in TDL format. it can be any kind of pattern like ATPG, fucntional, so on.
if you are not working in TI, you cant simualte the patterns.

can you be specific on your question?.

Hi Santhosh,

Thanks for the reply,

I would like to know what are all the tools there to generate the TDL generation, and what are all the input files that I need to provide for TDL generation.
 

Heard that we can generate TDLs by giving .VCD files to some tool as input.

Hi Mohana,
All the ATPG tools can generate the TI TDL pattern. Apart from that you may not find any commercial tools which can generate TDL patterns. But TI has their own internal tool to generate the TDL patterns. It takes a text file which should have info for genaration of patterns for example Memory bist patterns, needs type of memories, algorithm ...so on
 

TDL generation is generate the Test vectors or Test Patterns to validate the test logic. There are different formats to generate the patterns i.e TDL format(Texas Instrruments), WGl format(general). Tetramax and Fastscan can generate the TDL format patterns.

This is answer for u r question.
 

You can convert between most test formats with vtran from SourceIII
