UPF to CPF conversion

vicky
vicky over 16 years ago

Is there any utility which would do a conversion of an UPF file to CPF file. I have a testcase which has been implemented using UPF and now I am planning to implement the same using CPF. I did a manual conversion of the commands to create the power domains  but I feel that the way the switch cells and isloation cells are defined in the CPF and UPF is very difficult to convert from it.

    Hi Ramya,

    The ability to convert upf to cpf and vice versa is included as part of the Conformal Low Power license and tool. If you have a conformal low power tool you would invoke clp as follows: unix> lec -lp -verify

    Then you can either use the interactive mode to convert: setup> upf2cpf <upf_filename>

    or you can use the gui: setup> set upf on

                                              setup> start pia

    then within PIA use the File -> Import from UPF option to choose the UPF to be converted.

    Please feel free to email me offline, jrodrig@cadence.com if you have any questions.

    Best regards,

    Mickey
