Encounter's "common timing library"

mwb1
mwb1 over 7 years ago

From all the documentation that I see, it looks like "common timing library" in encounter's "import design" menu should point to the typical case library. Similarly to how the "max" and "min" libraries point to the worst and best case libraries. 

However, when I look at the log, it says that its overwriting the libraries. See below. 

Reading max timing library <my_wc_timing_lib>

................etc

Reading min timing library <my_bc_timing_lib>

................etc

Reading max timing library <my_tc_timing_lib> 

................etc

Reading min timing library <my_tc_timing_lib> 

................etc

Those last two messages seem to indicate the reading in of the common-timing library is over-writing my max and min timing libraries. Is this correct? Is this what I should see? 

Thanks

Matt

    what version are you using? the libraries should be set up using a MMMC file so that you can have as many analysis views as your design requires...

    yes..this happens as your MMMC file overwrites it...so set up individual views for each instant...something like <QRC/Timting>_MAX_TYP $LIB_PATH and if you have set_analysis_view enabled or update_delay_corner make sure it references each library...so for 3 cases you should have 3 views on delay/power etc... I would recommend something like

    create_library_set -name library_typ_device  -timing [list $your_libraries_here]

    do this for max and min and other corners accordingly
