Technology translation in RC

archive

Hello,

Anybody know how to do technology translation in RC like DC allows? That is, given a netlist mapped in one technology library, can I map it to a different technology witout resynthesizing?

I think DC had a translate command, does RC have anything similar?

Thanks,

  • I don't think that any tool is *that* intelligent to do it. Because one technology has not the exact list of cells the other has. Some cells in one technology might not have the corresponding cells in the other. Without resynthesis it is almost impossible.

    On the other hand, even if you would have to change the technologies, your design might not meet the timing you need. One cell in one technology can be fast, the corresponding cell in the other technology can be pretty slow.

    It is a bit difficult and dangerous design practice. It will cost you probably a lot of time because you might need to edit the netlist manually in some cases. The time you will lose for this procedure can be used for resynthesis.
