Guide for doing STA in PT from Volcano database

[mahanthesh]

Hello,

I have volcano database of the design (Magma tool). I want to do STA of the design in pt or ptsi can u pls help me how to get spef and verilog to load in ptsi
from volcano.

Can any one explain the procedure in steps to do sta in pt from volcano database.


Thanks in advance

FIRST OF U NEED VERILOG NETLIST WITH CONSTRAINT U NEED TO SET TO THAT DESIGN.
DETERMINE URSELF WHATS UR TIMING /AREA CONSTRAINTS.
READ MORE INFORMATION FROM PT USERGUIDE AND FOLLOW IT.
PT WONT REQUIRE PDEF FILES.
IT NEED NETLIST FILE IN VERILOG FORMAT

you can load volcano into magma, wrote out spef file and verilog,also sdc file, then red into ptsi to do STA, it's not acurrate. in regular flow, you need wrote verilog netlist and gds2 or lef in magma, then using starRC to extract, generated spef file. then using initial constraint (for synthesis) , spef file by starrc and netlist by magma do STA in ptsi.

take SDF , N/l and SDC from Magma and load in PT.
do after fix cell only

what is this N/I?
why i should do after fix cell ?

I think it should be "N/l" instead of "N/I"; stands for (Verilog gate-level) Netlist.

ANALYSIS FLOW IN PT:
Read in design data (gate level netlist & associated tech libraries)
Constrain the design by sp. the clock char, input timing , output timing
Sp the envt & analysis condt such as case analysis setting, net delay
Check design data and analysis setup parameter
Perform full timing analysis and examine the results
