Can Liberate take encrypted spice netlist

KC Lee

Hi All,

  Does anyone know if Liberate can take encrypted spice netlist?  Or if this standard cell characterization tool can take encrypted spectre netlist?

Thanks.

    Liberate uses Spectre netlist parser. So, in theory, if Spectre can read the encrypted netlist, then it can be used with Liberate. However, I am not 100% sure. There might be problems when Liberate creates simulation decks. You might have to force the tool not to flatten the netlist (extsim_flatten_netlist=0).  Do you have an issue with it?

    Regards,

    make sue you use '-extsim spectre' option for char_library command. 

    Liberate reference manual does mention encrypted netlist in in one place.-- check description for extsim_exclusive
