EXP NO: 2 Place and Route and Post Place & Route Simulation
Date:
AIM:
To synthesis 4- Bit Comparator and then Place& Route and Post Place & Root using Implementation
option available in Xilinx project navigator.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:

Theory:
Back annotation is the translation of a routed or fitted design to a timing simulation netlist.
To define the behavior of the FPGA, a hardware description language (HDL) or a schematicdesign
methods are used. Common HDLs are VHDL and Verilog. Then, using an electronicdesign automation
(EDA) tool, a technology-mapped net list is generated.
The net list can then be fitted to the actual FPGA architecture using a process called placeand-route,
usually performed by the FPGA vendor‟s proprietary place-and-route software.
The user will validate the map, place and route results via timing analysis, simulation, andother
verification methodologies. Once the design and validation process is complete, thebinary file generated
is used to (re)configure the FPGA.
In an attempt to reduce the complexity of designing in HDLs, which have been compared tothe
equivalent of assembly
In a typical design flow, an FPGA application developer will simulate the design at multiplestages
throughout the design process.
Initially the RTL description in VHDL or Verilog is simulated by creating test benches tosimulate the
system and observe results.
Then, after the synthesis engine has mapped the design to a net list, the net list is translated toa gate level
description where simulation is repeated to confirm the synthesis proceededwithout errors.
Finally the design is laid out in the FPGA at which point propagation delays can be added andthe
simulation run again with these values back-annotated onto the net list.
Place & Route, the process of optimization of logic cells for effective utilization of FPGAarea and the
speed of operation, is used to modify and infer the following:
1. Re-assignment of Pins
2. Re-location of Slices
3. Run time minimization
Procedure:
1. Start the Xilinx ISE by using Start Program files Xilinx ISE project navigator
3. Enter the Project Name and select the location then click next
4. Select the Device and other category and click next twice and finish.
5. Click on the symbol of FPGA device and then right click click on new source.
6. Select the Verilog Module and give the file name click next and define ports click next and
finish.
7. Writing the Verilog Code in Verilog Editor.
8. Run the Check syntax Process window synthesize double click check syntax. If
any errors found then remove the errors with proper syntax & coding.

11. Enter the Pin value for your input and output signals. if you want see your Pin assignment in
FPGA zoom in Architecture View or Package View
12. Check the Pins in FPGA. Save file as XST Default click ok and close the window
13. Design Implementation begins with the mapping or fitting of a logical design file to a specific
device and is complete when the physical design is successfully routed and a bit stream is
generated. Double Click Implementation Design.
14. After finishing the Implementation, you can view the Implementation report.
15. After implementation you see Design Summary, you get the all details about your design. If you
want edit the place and route double click View/Edit placed design
16. Check where your IOs are placed in FPGA. And zoom to view how Pins are placed in FPGA.
You can see where your pins are placed
17. Just double click View/Edit Routed Design to view interconnection wires and blocks
18. Click the pin to see where its placed in FPGA. And Zoom particular area to see Place and

ELECTRIC VLSI DESIGN EDA TOOL
Procedure for simulation and implementation of EDA tool-ELECTRIC
1. Start Electric: The following window will appear.
2. Towards the bottom of the window, Electric Messages Window will be found where
different messages can be found throughout any design.
3. The background color of the window can change as follows
Window –> Color Schemes –> White Background Colors

4. Let’s create a Library
Go to Explorer (beside the Components view); you will find LIBRARIES name as no
name
5. File –> Save Library As
Go to the location where design have to be save. (eg: $PATH/Electric/Designs)
Name the design (library name) eg. design_1.jelib
We would create our schematic and layout under this library
Now you will see design_1.jelib under LIBRARIES name in Explorer

6. Go to Preferences by clicking the following button or executing File –> Preferences…
7. Then you have to set the following.
Preferences –> Categories –> Technology –> Technology
mocmos Technology –> Metal layers –> 3 Layers
Keep submicron rules and Second Polysilicon Layer checked
Click the Analog checkbox.
8. To set the scale go to
File -> Preferences -> Technology -> Scale and set mocmos scale to 300 nm
9. Creating a new cell
Go to cell –> New Cell (or you can press ctrl + N). You will find a window like following.
Enter the name of the cell {----------------- } and click the view as {schematic}.
Press ok.
Now under the library design_1.jelib you can find a schematic cell named as ---------
{sch} with a red indicator as follows.
10. Now Press the Components. You will find the schematic components unlike the layout
components in the startup window.
11. Now we are finished
ed with the setup and ready to fabricate a chip in the C5 process via
MOSIS
12. Checking of DRC (Design Rule Check)
To check DRC you can execute Tools –> DRC –>

> Check Hierarchically or you can
press F5.
Once DRC is checked, you can see result in the message window as follows:
13. Layout vs. Schematic (LVS) in Electric is checked using Network Consistency Checking
(NCC)
To check this, execute Tools –> NCC –>

> Schematic and Layout views of Cell in Current
Window. You can run this command being in any design window (schematic / layout).
We found a message like sizes not checked.
For this we have to take care of the following
Go to File –>
> Preferences –> Categories –> Tools –> NCC –>
> Check transistor sizes
Once again execute the NCC, now you will find the following message.
14. Checking ERC (Well Check)
This process checks the connection of the nn-well and p-substrate.
The C5 process used here is an nn-well process. The p-type

type substrate is common to all
NMOS devices and should be grounded.
One of the electricalal rule checks (ERCs) is to verify that the p-well
well (in this case p-
substrate) is always connected to ground.
Further, in this n-well

well process, if the design contains only digital circuits then the n-
well should be connected to VDD.
For Well Check execute Tools –> ERC –> Check Wells or press W (as we have
bounded this key to Well Check).
The reason is as below:

In Digital Design all the NN-Wells to be connected to VDD and all the P-Wells
P to be
connected to Ground.
Here we can see For N-Well,
Well, Must connect to Power is checked.
But this Resistive_divider is not a digital design. Here the N
N-Well
Well is used as a resister
which is an anlog design
design.
So uncheck “Must connect to Power” under “For N-Well”. You will find zero Well
Check error.
15. Schematic Simulation
Now we would simulate the resistive divider circuit which has been built, and would
observe the output voltage w.r.t. a particular input voltage.
For this we need to write a SPICE code which would give the description of the input
voltage and would indicate the type of simulation we want to perform.
Writing SPICE Code
Go to the Components menu. Click on the arrowhead in the Misc box to add SPICE
code to the schematic as seen in the figure.
Place the SPICE code in the schematic and use Ctrl+I to edit its properties.
Ensure, in the SPICE code property box, that the Multi-line Text box is checked.
Add the code shown in the figure for specifying a SPICE transient analysis and
an input voltage source. The code indicates an input voltage of 1 V DC is applied to the
circuit. The analalysis would be a transient one for 1 second.
Press F5 to check the schematic.
16. Simulation of the Schematic
Go to Tools -> Simulation (Spice) -> Write Spice Deck.
The following LTspice window will open.

17. Resistive Divider Layout
Open the layout view of the Resistive_divider cell and then copy/paste (Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V)
an additional resistor.
Running a DRC (pressing F5) on the above layout results in the

following error.
By pressing > we see that there is too little space between the N-wells.
Move the Nodes apart until the layout passes the DRCs. Of-course the error will not
appear if you have initially placed both the resistors apart enough, which would satisfy
the MOSIS rule for space between N-wells.
Run DRC to check the design is free of error or not.
This layout cell should match the schematic cell. Verify this by running the NCC (aka
LVS check).
The following figure shows the Electric Messages for DRC of layout and NCC of both

EXP NO: 14 DfT – Scan Chain Insertion
Date:
AIM:
To study the given circuit and perform DfT-Scan chain insertion using Synopsys -
TetraMaxtools.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:

2. Synopsys - TetraMax tool 1
PROCEDURE:
Invoke DftCompiler
Dft Compiler is actually embedded in the Design Compiler.
To invoke Dft Compiler, choose either options.
dc_shell(command mode)
dv&(GUI mode)
Command mode is preferred because:

a. Command mode helps you to keep a record of what you have done.
b. Command mode runs more efficiently than GUI mode.
c. Command mode helps you to lookup the manual/reference quickly.
In spite of the above advantages, command mode sometimes is not asgood as GUI mode in terms
of debugging the schematic problem.
NOTE: maybe occurrence of some error message like “Error: current design notdefined.” just
ignore it for now.
STEP 1: Read Input Files
1. Please check there is no error message when starting the “dc_shell”. If there are errors in
the windows, please check the .synopsys_dc.setup. Type either one of these lines to read
your gate level netlist (The circuit after synthesis).
read_verilogfilename.v
read_filefilename.v -format Verilog
2. Set the working design to you top design. In this case, set ALU as the working design.
current_design ALU
3. Resolve the design references and check if there is any errors.

Link check_design
4. Set the design constraints and check if the designs have any violations. The constraints.tcl
is based on the constraints that you used in the synthesis lab.
sourceconstraints.tcl
report_constraint -all_violators
5. To obtain a timing/area/power report of your original design, type (where ALU is your
top design)
report_area>filename.area_rpt
report_timing>filename.timing_rpt
report_power>filename.power_rpt
STEP 2: Select scan style

Define the default scan style for the insert_dft command if a scanstyle is not specified
with the set_scan_style command. Thisvariable must identify one of the following supported
scan styles:multiplexed_flip_flop, clocked_scan, lssd, aux_clock_lssd,combinational, or none.
You can skip this step because the defaultis multiplexed_flip_flop.
settest_default_scan_stylemultiplexed_flip_flop
STEP 3: Set ATE configuration and create test protocol

The timing of the test clock is based on the test_default_period,test_default_delay,
test_default_strobe, and test_default_strobe_widthvariables.
settest_default_delay 0
settest_default_bidir_delay 0
settest_default_strobe 40
settest_default_period 100
To create a test protocol for a non-scan design, you can just type
create_test_protocol -infer_asynch -infer_clock
When -infer_asynch is specified, create_test_protocol infersasynchronous set and reset signals in
the design, and places them at offstate during scan shifting. When -infer_clock is
specified,create_test_protocol infers test clock pins from the design, and pulsesthem during scan
shifting.
STEP 4: Pre-scan Check
Check if there is any design constraint violations before scan insertion.
all_violators
Perform pre-scan
scan test design rule checking.
dft_drc
STEP 5: Scan specification

This step tells the Dft Compiler how many scan chains needed. This allows to specify the
names of scan related pins (scan_enable, scan_in,scan_out).
set_scan_configuration -chain_count 1
STEP 6: Scan preview

This step checks your scan specification for consistency. Please type
preview_dft
STEP 7: scan chain synthesis

Stitch your scan cells into a chain. And do some more optimizations.
insert_dft
STEP8: Post-scan check
Check if there is any design constraint violations after scan insertion.
all_violators
Perform post-scan
scan test design rule checking.
dft_drc
STEP 9: Reports
Report the scan cells and the scan paths
report_scan_path -view
view existing -chain all >ALU_syn_dft.scan_path
report_scan_path -view
view existing -cell all >ALU_syn_dft.scan_cell
To obtain a timing/area report of your scan_inserted design, type

report_timing>ALU_syn_dft.timing_rpt
RESULT:
Scan chain insertion of the given circuit has been studied.

Thus the DfT-Scan
