Encounter Library Characterizer alf2vhdl problem

eklikeroomys

I used ELC to characterize a standard cell library, and used the alf2vhdl tool to generate the vhdl VITAL timing file for the library. 

For some reason, the VHDL format written out by alf2vhdl is not compatible with Ambit, which I need to use to synthesize a design. 

There doesnt seem to be an option for making the format compatible, am I missing something or is there another tool that I can use to generate the VITAL file?

    Hi,

     Have you thought to prove the alf2lib command? For example

     alf2lib -alf *.alf -cap typ -check typ -delay typ -lib *.typ.lib -max_load -typ -power typ -supply "VDD VSS"

     Regards.
