Hi

My question is that Why use the Primetime in frontend design?

input file : gate-level netlists (.v), standard delay format (.sdf), synopsys design constraints (.sdc), synopsys database (.db), not use parastic exchange format (.spef) file from starRC

I heard that company (ex. samsung) use the primetime in frontend design.

I need more detail about this problem, not need to say this (ex. faster than DTA)

can anyone tell me this problem?

thank you.

this is a strange question. are you sure it is frontend design? when I think of SDF I think of physical synthesis, backend.

Strictly speaking, it is not a fronted design. We just arbitrarily created this verification method as fronted.

I heard from my professor that someone at Samsung Electronics department uses primetime tool in frontend design, so I left a question to investigate this further. I don't know how other companies do it.
