guys i am a little new to tetramax...
i dont have dc in my college but have tetramax installed,
can the stil protocol file required by the tetramax tool generated by any mentor tool or do we specifically need the dc by synopsis?
 

STIL as a DFT drc file should be interchangable across all three test tools; Synopsy-Tetramax, Mentor-FastScan & Cadence Encounter-Test . . .
This is pretty well controlled by the IEEE standard of STIL. Previously, in 2006 when STIL was evolving, some interoperability issues were seen. Pretty robust now!

thank you adam..
can you tell me which tools in mentor and cadence produce STILL protocol file that i can use as input in tetramax.
or fast scan of mentor graphics is enough for testing a circuit.
 

We have a flow setup with Cadence RTL Compiler. The command for that is
write_atpg -stil > design.stil

This can be imported into Tetramax. With Mentor, I am assuming DFT advisor can do the same thing . .

thanks adam ...can you provide me any still protocol file of any small circuit or even a decoder so that i can try and use it with tetramax installed in my college...
thanks in advance
