What's the file format for GTECH lib

synopsys gtech

Hi all,
When synthesizing RTL to netllists, Synopsys Design Compiler will read GTECH lib to generate a technology-independent netlist if no specific lib assigned. What's the file format for GTECH lib? Where can I see the GTECH file? Thanks a lot.

Best Regards,

gtech.db

GTECH is just the format of the database synopsys uses, I think that's impossible to see that, that must be encrypted when it is saved.

Synopsys GTECH is in Synopsys .db format.

You can find it unfer the tool install directory,
$install_dir > find . -name "gtech.db"

gtech + synopsys dc

GTECH is in .db format, typically libraries used in Synopsys can be two types

1. Synopsys Liberty format : human readable format, you can refer to there documentation for further details.
2. Synopys database formate ( i.e .db format) : This is an encrypted format of the liberty format.

As suggest by joe2moon may find it in the synopsys installation directory
