Synopsys ICC is a software tool used in the field of electronic design automation (EDA) for physical design and implementation of integrated circuits (ICs). It is used for floorplanning, placement, routing, and timing optimization of digital designs.
Cell stats in Synopsys ICC refer to the statistics of cells used in a design, including their types, sizes, and locations. This information is helpful in analyzing the efficiency and density of the design and identifying potential issues with cell placement.
To generate a post route netlist in Synopsys ICC, you can use the "write -format verilog" command in the ICC command shell. This will create a Verilog netlist file that contains the final routing information of the design, including the connectivity between cells and nets.
Mwlib (MemoryWare Library) is a library of pre-characterized cells that can be used in Synopsys ICC for faster and more accurate timing analysis and optimization. These cells have been characterized for different process corners and voltage conditions, making them ideal for use in different design scenarios.
Yes, Synopsys ICC can also be used for the physical implementation of designs in other technologies, such as 3D integrated circuits, system on chip (SoC), and multi-chip modules (MCM). It offers a wide range of features and capabilities that make it suitable for various types of designs.
