hi all,
i am a beginner to ASIC. I came to know that the libraries used for synopsys are in db format. but when i tried to view them i could not make out anything! may be it was encrypted. but *.lib files are simple ascii files. so by any chance can i get back *.lib from *.db? if so please guide me how to do that......
thanks...

db is complied version of lib file. They have the same meaning to the synthesis tools. For DC, read a db file is faster than the lib file. Actually, you can load either one for the sythesis.
