Can any body tell me how to get a parasitic file - that contains the information abt the capacitance of the nets.

Thanks & regards

parasitic file

It is generated by extraction tools like STAR-RCXT from place-n-route database of a fully laid out and routed design.

It can also be generated without layout/routing by syntheisis tools using placement aware methodology ( like DC - topographical). But those are just first cut estimates and would be off from actual parasitics that you'll get in layout.

Re: parasitic file

Hi,

Can it be generated using primetime using the commands:
write_parasitics -format SPEF filename.spef ? such that it writes all parasitics
annotated on the current design to the file specified
in the filename argument.

Thanks & regards,

Jugantor
