2 questions, 1for cdump file and 1for CeltIC

Hi ALL:

I have 2 questions:

1. I try to use readgds command to read GDSII file as cdump file, and then using cdump2lef covert cdump to LEF, I got stucked and found that the cdump file is correct, but the generated LEF is wrong.......is cdump2lef having bugs? I am using SOCE52USR3.

2. When I am running CeltIC, I find the 'set_parm gtol' parameter, this gtol means the filter criteria for aggressors, means glitch tolerance. But I also find 'set_thresh -glitch_peak' can also set such criteria, gtol default is 5% of VDD and glitch_peak is 20% of VDD, what is the difference? Can anybody tell me?

thank!

    Hi eminemshow,

    Regarding question #1, readgds and cdump2lef are no longer supported. The recommended way of creating a LEF MACRO from gds is to use the abstract generator which is part of the Virtuoso platform.

    For question #2, I don't know right off personally but hopefully a CeltIC expert can chime in.

    Thanks,
    Bob
    Thanks! bob, I will try to use abstract gen. Maybe later I will have questions about it.
