It is "library compiler" in Synopsys Tools.

It is "library compiler" in Synopsys Tools.

I thought that the library compiler prepares .db files from .lib liberty files.
Do you mean that "library compiler" has such flow like Encounter Library Characterizer (ELC) :


Thanks for your attention.

Hi alirez.m.f

Do U mean how to transfer a synopsys format lib to cadence format? especially for the backend libs.

U r right, LC can only compile lib to db. It can also deal with edif, but not for backend libs.

Libs are supplied by lib venders, both cadence and synopsys format files are included. We dont need to transfer one to another.

ok, i misunderstood your question. For library characterization, I think that "Liberty NCX" is used in Synopsys flow. This tool can run circuit simulations and characterize std cells.

Thanks dear Matter.
I rerfered to Liberty NCX datasheet in Synopsys.com and read it. I think it has not enough clearane such ELC datasheet.
Have you eny user guide or a example flow that could help me to find out it, more clear?

I thank you and ic_qiand for attention and reply.
Thaks again.
