Setting Timing Derate

tshovon123

 Hi I am shovon

New to encounter. So facing syntax related problem .

How can i apply diffrent derating factors for setup and hold in OCV.

 

 

It will be helpful if anyone elaborate about setting different derating factors according to mode and check type for a particular delay corner. That is I want to set different derating factor for different analysis view. 

 

Thanks

     Hi Tanvir

     Once you create the analysis views (Cadence doc attached), you can use something like this for applying OCV derating:

     

    ________viewDefinition.tcl________

    #create library sets

    create_library_set -name lib_slow -timing {./slow_test.lib}

    create_library_set -name lib_fast -timing {./fast.lib}

     

    #create Constraint Modes

    create_constraint_mode -name mode_mission -sdc_files {./default.sdc}

     

    #create RC Corners

    create_rc_corner -name rc_slow

    create_rc_corner -name rc_fast

     

    #create Delay Corners

    create_delay_corner -name dc_slow \

    -late_library_set lib_slow \

    -early_library_set lib_fast \

    -late_opcond_library slowlib \

    -early_opcond_library fastlib \

    -late_opcond slow \

    -early_opcond fast

     

    create_delay_corner -name dc_fast \

    -late_library_set lib_slow \

    -early_library_set lib_fast \

    -late_opcond_library slowlib \

    -early_opcond_library fastlib \

    -late_opcond slow \

    -early_opcond fast

     

    #create analysis views

    create_analysis_view -name view_slow_mission -constraint_mode mode_mission -delay_corner dc_slow

    create_analysis_view -name view_fast_mission -constraint_mode mode_mission -delay_corner dc_fast

     

    #set current analysis views

    set_analysis_view -setup {view_slow_mission} -hold {view_fast_mission}

     

    # Apply OCV derating (5% for eaxample)

    set_timing_derate -delay_corner  dc_slow -early 0.95

    set_timing_derate -delay_corner  dc_slow -late 1.00

    set_timing_derate -delay_corner  dc_fast -early 1.00

    set_timing_derate -delay_corner  dc_fast -late 0.95 

     

     Thanks
