Use ".lib" timing file in AMS simulations using ADE

analogcad2

Hi,

I have a stdcell library which has “.v” file which contains all Verilog models for stdcells. This stdcell library also has a “.lib” timing file with all the delay information for these verilog stdcells. This ".lib" has been provided to us by stdcell IP vendor.

Could you guide me how can I use this “.lib” timing file inside Virtuoso AMS simulation using ADE?

Do I need to convert this ".lib" file into SDF? If yes, how?

Could you also point me to the right documentation if available?

Thanks in advance.

    Not really my area of expertise (this requires the digital implementation tools), but you can do this in either Innovus or Tempus. You read the .lib for the cells, and the Verilog, and then use the write_sdf command to produce SDF. I'll move this into the Digital Implementation forum so that if you need more help you're more likely to get an answer.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
