    Why do output pins in timing libraries have max_transition constraint? Isn't this only for input pins?

    Im a little confused. If you have a driver/buffer cell driving another cell, it will be something like this: buffer cell: inputA > buffer > outputX load cell: inputC > cell > outputD the load cell, inputC usually has max_transition constraint. If this is not met, we must use a stronger...

    Is there a way or tool to convert GDS/Oasis layout to a DEF database?

    Read in the full layout, and write out a DEF database. Is this possible? How or which tool?

    Need help with reading DEF into ICC2, exporting as Oasis layout

    didn't do anything :( we are talking about reading in a tech.lef file, you're saying you had the same issue which is track width definitions not be read from the tech.lef by ICC2, but this switch fixed it for you?

    Need help with reading DEF into ICC2, exporting as Oasis layout

    Hello, I have a DEF file, and a tech.lef file (Cadence tech lef format) which contains track width definitions. Step 1: I'm using icc2_lm (library manager) to read in the tech.lef, write an ndm library. But to do this, I must also read in Synopsys format lef mlikyway techfile. Step 2: Then using...

    Can you read Cadence OA format routing techfile in Synopsys ICC2 tool?

    I've been told that ICC2 supports OA Cadence format techfile. I have an IP DEF file that was outputted using ICC2, and the designer provided a Cadence OA techfile with it, even though he used ICC2 to write out the DEF. So my question is, how do I read this DEF back into ICC2 using the...

    In Synopsys ICC2, how do I view metal fill shapes for DEF?

    I am given a DEF, didnt create it myself. I was able to view the DEF in ICC2. I selected a specific layer (M1), and selected OPC and Area fill shapes. But I dont see any of the FILL shapes. If II select "Fill cell", it highlights the entire cell, and not the shapes inside of it only. When I...

    In Synopsys ICC2, how can i get the xy locations of all instances of a portX?

    Hey, thank you. I just tried it, but I'm only able to get 1 of the total 4 instances of the port locations. For example, this only returns the locaiton of the first portX instance (out of 4 total): set port0 [get_ports PclkOut[1]] set term0 [get_terminals [get_object_name $port0]] get_attribute...

    In Synopsys ICC2, how can i get the xy locations of all instances of a portX?

    I am able to read a DEF, and for a given port, I can get its bounding box. However, if portX appears 4 times, the bounding box definiton is the smallest box possible that contains all these 4 portX instances. However, I want to get the xy locations of each of these 4 portX instances. How can I...

    How to convert DEF to LEF in Synopsys ICC2? (IC Compiler)

    I want to check if a DEF view matches Layout view (similar to LEf vs. Layout checking), but in order to that, I can think of loading DEF in ICC2, converting to LEF, and then comparing LEf vs. Layout. I have access to Lef vs. LAyout checker tool, but not Def Vs. Layout. I was able to load the...
