Synopsys_IC_Complier设计流程指导书课件.ppt

Agenda Unit Objectives After completing this unit, you should be able to: Create a Milkyway library to hold your design Read all necessary files required to run IC Compiler, resolving common errors/warnings Set up timing for analysis and optimizations Execute the basic flow for placement, CTS and routing in IC Compiler Unit Roadmap General IC Compiler Flow Placement, CTS, Routing with Optimizations IC Compiler Data Flow Unit Flow: From Setup to Output Logical Data Reading Gate-Level Netlists from Synthesis IC Compiler can open a Milkywaydatabase written by Design Compiler And other formats supported by Design Compiler You can read one or many files No Multiply Instantiated Designs IC Compiler does not support non-uniquified designs, i.e. designs with multiple instantiations! When reading in a non-uniquified design, the first commands of your ICC script should be: Logical Libraries Provide timing and functionality information for all standard cells (and, or, flipflop, …) Provide timing information for hard macros(IP, ROM, RAM, …) Define drive/load design rules: Max fanout and transition Max/Min capacitance Specified as follows: CCS Library Support IC Compiler supports NLDM and CCS (Composite Current Source) libraries Current-based approach more accurately models Timing, Noise, Power High impedance interconnect Miller effect Dynamic IR-drop Multi-voltage Temperature Inversion NLDMs are not accurate enough for 90 nm and below ? Use CCS CCS Supported Throughout Galaxy How does IC Compiler Find Files? By default, you must specify the unix-path for all files (relative or absolute) You may specify where to look for files: The above paths will be used by IC Compiler for reading or accessing files Target Libraries Along with the link_library and search_path variables, you need to specify the logical library that will be used for mapping/optimization: Typically, the target_library points to your standard cells only Resolving References Gate-level netlist
