how to write scripts for synthesis
 

Re: Synthesis scripts

synopsys prime time. from scratch can anyone help me out. any good book or any good link ..how to do synthesis and how to set attributes ?what are they? they needed?
 

Re: Synthesis scripts

1) "PrimeTime User Guide: Fundamentals" and
2) "PrimeTime User Guide: Advanced Timing Analysis"
are good reference for your request.
 

Re: Synthesis scripts

any other books are there for synthesis,from scratch...

atually in our college some Designcraft is the tool and not prime time
 

Re: Synthesis scripts

It doesn't matter what kind of synthesis tool used.

Since almost if not all synthesis tools support timing constraints in SDC(Synopsys Design Constraint) format.

So you can still use these 2 books as a good reference.
------------------------------------------------------------------

By thw way, lots of concepts of synthesis have been described in these 2 user guides.
 

Re: Synthesis scripts

Sorry but Primetime is STA tool (Static Timing Analisys) not a synthesys tool !

For synthesis this is Design compiler
 

Re: Synthesis scripts

you can check design compiler reference manul . ( dcrmo.pdf in your online documnet ).
In my opinion, you should take the following into your account .
1. define a ideal (free running ) clock with period , rise edge (fall edge ) , and name also.
2. binding ideal clock to clock pin or pad.
3.set input and output delay .
4.set off chip operatin condition. temprature and voltage variant.
5.wireload model
6.false path.
7.test strategy

For synthesis, you may use Synopsys Design Compiler. Other
than Synopsys online doc, you can also take a look at
"Advanced ASIC Chip Synthesis: Using Synopsys DC"
Primetime's for static timing analysis.

Re: Synthesis scripts

You must see some basics about the synthesis !

Then you are familiar with the script and do the tutorial !
 

Re: Synthesis scripts

i you think u should learn some program languages for scripts, tcl for DC, for example.
 

Re: Synthesis scripts

anyone has cadence RTL compiler synthesis scripts ? .. preferrably if using TSMC libraries
 

Re: Synthesis scripts

Hello omara007 ,
You can find many synthesis scripts at sourcelink.cadence.com

Thanks spaul.
I'm now inside sourcelink, and even inside the RTL compiler link .. but I'm quite lost and I can't find any link to where I can find some useful scripts !

it is not easy to sign up
they ask :
Creating an account is quick and easy. Before you begin, make sure you have:
your email address
the serial number or Host ID of the Cadence product under maintenance contract
if you have previously filed Service Requests with Cadence, the PIN assigned to you
Enter your email address to begin creating your account.

how can i get the Host ID of the Cadence product free :?:

hi adele ..
I believe u need to be a Cadence customer to be able to have an acount in sourcelink .. it's not open for the public.
 

Synthesis scripts

read library
read files
set clock
set delays
compile
out netlist
check reports
