I never did STA .. but I have read in documents... that the synthesis script can be converted to primetime script by using dc-transcript command .. You only need to slightly modify the converted script..
 

primetime script

The scripts are very similar to DC scripts, but PrimeTime only support TCL.
You can use your synthesis constraint to constraint the chip in STA, then
set the analysis type (such as single, bc_wc or on chip variation), configure the chip into specific mode (use set_case_analysis), then report out the timing & etc.

For post-route STA, you need to read in SPEF also.
 

script for STA

Give you a example for post-layout STA script :
1. set enviroment variable
2. read db file of related libraries
3. set library type,set_min_lib
4.read netlist of design
5.set_operating_conditions
6.read sdf file
7.timing constrain
8.generate reports
thanks
 

Re: script for STA

Read instruction in SOLD

Advanced ASIC Chip Synthesis (2nd Ed, 2002)

have some scipts.


the primetime workshop, have lab guide,but no lab material.
If anyone finds the lab material,please upload. Thanks very much.
 

Re: script for STA

hi,read synopsys sold documents "starting and Using Primetime ,analysis flow in primetime "page 2-23 ,it have a standard analysis flow,do it as step by step,
remember
set timing_remove_clock_reconvergence_pessimism true
 
script for STA

you may read the manual of primetime or you can translate the script of DC into the script ot PT
 

script for STA

I think the primetime workshop lab is good .but first we should know about the STA flow
 

script for STA

Now I is using PrimeTime for STA , you may read Primetime User Guide Fundmentals or other manuals. I think those document is best !
