Re: analysis with SPEF

and how to do that?
can I use hspice to simulate my design using the .spef file?

Re: analysis with SPEF

hi designer,

my 2 cents,

1. You read the routed netlist and the SPEF file in the primetime and perform post-routed timing analysis.
2. You read the routed netlist and the SPEF file and generate SDF[Standard Delay format] file. Use the routed netlist and SDF file for gate level simulation to check whether you are meeting functionality & timing.

Praise the Lord.
