You may encounter those in your SDFs. This just starts you off with understanding the SDF file you use for postlayout simulations, and these are the most common statements you encounter in the file. Thank u sini for giving valuable knowledge to young generation. This article clarified every doubt regarding SDF. I am interested to know how the core utilization and std cell utilization done?
I got doubt in SDF syntax. But I see in my SDF min values is higher than max value. Is it possible? And second question I have, is how to generate typical values also? Waiting for your reply. Please see the. Specifically the SDF file snippet is from a circuit on a virtex 7 board. Thank you.
The article is very helpful in understanding the SDF files. I have a doubt related to SDF files , if wea have different sdf files for min,max and typ corners and each file have delay values like this 0.
Please clarify. To get typ values, you usually have an option—. My work is criticality computation in SSTA. For this i converted circuit into timing graph G V,E. Few of the examples are Type of timing related Information Delays : Path delay, Device delay Interconnect delay Port delay Timing checks : setup, hold, recovery, removal, skew, width, period, and nochange. Timing constraints : path, skew, period, sum, and diff Timing environment : intended operating timing environment Ways of Implementation: Incremental delays : Introduce delay data that is added to existing delay values in the design Absolute delays : Introduce delay data to replace existing delay values in the design.
Some of the files can have pre-layout timing data, some other may have path constraint or post-layout timing data. You can create different files for different type of information or may be you can keep all the information in a single file. If you have single file, it may happen that one Tool use one particular information and another one uses other information.
My point is all the tools are enough intelligent that they can extract information from the SDF file as per their requirement. It has Description of computed timing data for back-annotation. An advantage of this approach is that once an SDF file has been created for a design, all analysis and verification tools can access the same timing data, which ensures consistency.
The specification of timing constraints for forward-annotation. These tools are know as timing calculator. Since SDF files is just like a ASCII file and there is no separate compiler or verification tool to verify the syntax or values mention in the SDF file, So the accuracy of the data in the SDF file will be dependent on the accuracy of the timing calculator and the information made available to it, such as pre-layout interconnect estimation methods or post-layout interconnect data extracted from the device topology.
SDF stands for Standard delay format. It gives information on the timing data extensively used in backend VLSI design flows.
Cell delays. SDF file is also used in the back annotation of delays in the gate level simulations for mimicking the exact Si behavior. It stores the timing data generated by EDA tools for use at any stage in the design process.
