Hello,

I would like to know if there is a guide to make a "Time back annotated simulation design" for the IC6.1 cadence version or older.
 

You need sdf file (standard delay format) file which can be obtained by running static timing analysis on the design using Synopsys Primetime tool or doing synthesis of the design using Synopsys Design Compiler. Once you have sdf file. You can run it on the synthesized gate level netlist by putting the following in your test bench file

initial
begin
$sdf_annotate("filename.sdf",top_level_instance_name); //for example $sdf_annotate("./design/gate_level/vga_enh_top_ps.sdf",test.UUT)
end

This will do the back annotated timing simulation

Hope this helps
 


Thanks, but Is it there any other alternative for the users of cadence that don't have sinopsis?
 

Please try cadence encounter tool
