How to generate .db file for standard cells from verilog file?

[dhaval4987]

Hello all,

I have a verilog file that has timing information for standard cells and I need to generate .db file for standard cells from it. Is it possible? how should I do it?

Thanks and regards,
Dhaval

First, you need to create .lib.
Second, if you can get rid of detailed functionality, you can just read .lib into DC and dump out as .db. If you need the functionality of the cell as well, you need Library compiler.

and how do I create .lib??

Manually, or writing a script in perl or something.
