[SOLVED] The error when reading in sdf file in PT

[zhengyudennis]

Hello,
I met the following strange error when using the command (read_sdf ****.sdf ) in PT.
Error: line 9: syntax error at or near token ‘)’

The netlist file and sdf file comes from the leonardospectrum.

Thanks very much!

it is strange only if it reports the syntax error while no syntax errors are present.
it's not strange that tool dumps out the sdf that makes your PT fail, if net name or such was dumped out in a way that doesn't match the rule. or sdf version doesn't match. I have seen it many times.

Did you even look at line 9 of sdf ?

the first 12 rows are as follows:
(DELAYFILE
(SDFVERSION "2.0")
(DESIGN "alu")
(DATE "Fri Nov 12 21:57:10 2010")
(VENDOR "Exemplar Logic, Inc., Alameda")
(PROGRAM "LeonardoSpectrum Level 3")
(VERSION "2009a.6")
(DIVIDER /)
(VOLTAGE)
(PROCESS)
(TEMPERATURE)
(TIMESCALE 1 ns)
The 9th row is (VOLTAGE).

may be it shld have definitions of voltage like below:


(VOLTAGE 0.990000::0.990000)
(PROCESS "1.000000::1.000000")

Hi, research235 is probably correct.

The syntax for VOLTAGE:

You are using version 2.0:

Here is version 3.0 just fyi:
**broken link removed** page 3.6
