Generation of tcf

Varada

 Please help me out by giving steps to generate .tcf file and also how to include that in RTL compiler for dynamic power analysis.

  • mikhail

    You have to run testbench with enabled PLI from RTL compiler installation.Also testbench should be modified in way to start toggle counting and save resulting tcf.

    After that you can load tcf file. Another way is to specify a switching activity by rc commands.

    Please let me know if you need a details.

     Hi Mikhail,

     Can you provide details on how a tcf file could be generated using a testbench?

    Thanks.

     Hi Mikhail,

     please refer to "Chapter 3 - Running Simulation to Generate TCF Files " of the Toggle Count Format Reference manual. It provides instructions on how to do this and should be fairly simple. Please drop a note if you run into any issues

     hope this helps,

    gh-

    Where can I download this reference manual from?
