Statements in a Liberty
File

Liberty file statements are classified in the following categories:

 Attribute statements
The syntax of an attribute statement is as follows:
<attribute> : <value> ;
Where,
 <attribute> is an attribute.
Examples of attributes are capacitance, is_pad, function,
and signal_type.
 <value> is the value of the attribute.
The data type of the value can be integer, float, double, Boolean,
Boolean expression, or string. In addition, there are certain attributes
that have a particular format. The type of values accepted by SGLC
for each of these categories is discussed in detail in the Legend Table.
 Group statements
The syntax of a group statement is as follows:
<keyword> ( <group_name> ) {
Attribute Statements
Group Statements

13
Synopsys, Inc.
Statements in a Liberty File

}
Where,
 <keyword> is the group that is defined.
Examples of groups are library, cell, pin, and timing.
 <group_name> is the name of the group.
This is a string value. For groups, such as, timing and memory, this
is optional. For other groups, such as, pin and timing, this is a list
of strings.
NOTE: In a third type of statement, the attribute value is specified inside parenthesis. The
syntax of this statement is as follows:
index_1(float list) , values(list of float list)

Compiling Libraries
using SpyGlass Library
Compiler

Use the spyglass_lc utility to compile .lib files to .sglib files. For
example, the following command compiles the a.lib and b.lib files:
spyglass_lc -gateslib a.lib b.lib -verilog des.v

While compiling libraries, you can specify various commands, such as

-lib, -gateslib, and -lef with the spyglass_lc utility.
However, while compiling libraries in SpyGlass Physical, you need to specify
some extra commands. For details on compiling libraries in SpyGlass
Physical, see Library Compilation in SpyGlass Physical.

Compiling Libraries using SpyGlass Library Compiler

Library Compilation in SpyGlass Physical

Library Compilation in SpyGlass Physical

Before running the design flow in SpyGlass Physical, you must compile
SpyGlass Physical technology libraries by using the spyglass_lc utility.
To compile libraries in SpyGlass Physical, specify the following commands
with the spyglass_lc utility (in addition to the other supported
commands of the spyglass_lc utility):

Command Description
-physical Enables the library compilation feature in SpyGlass
physical.
-physical_target Specifies one or more target library names to be
compiled.
-physical_lib_config_file Specifies the path of a configuration file.
This file is used to extend library compilation for
advanced capabilities.

This is the recommended library setup method.

The following sections cover the details of library compilation in SpyGlass
Physical:
 Library Compilation Modes in SpyGlass Physical
 Running the Library Compilation Modes in SpyGlass Physical
 Steps to Compile Libraries in SpyGlass Physical
 Configuration File Used during Library Compilation in SpyGlass Physical

Library Compilation Modes in SpyGlass Physical

The LIB and LEF library data is compiled into an OpenAcess database
format.
The physical library is created in the following modes depending on the
input LIB and LEF sources:
 FULL_LEF: The library is compiled in the FULL_LEF mode when the
complete lib and lef data is available.

16
Synopsys, Inc.
 Compiling Libraries using SpyGlass Library Compiler

Library Compilation in SpyGlass Physical

 NO_LEF: The library is compiled in the NO_LEF mode when the lef data
is not available. In this mode, SpyGlass Physical uses some default
values to approximate the lef data and you can only do the logical
analysis of your design. You can not do the physical analysis of design
including floorplan, placement, and routing.

Advanced Library Compilation Modes in SpyGlass Physical

SpyGlass Physical supports the following advanced modes:
 TECH_LEF: This is a variant of the NO_LEF flow where the Technology
LEF data is available but the Macro LEF definitions are not available. In
this case, the Technology LEF is used to improve the accuracy of the
logical congestion analysis during the design flow.
 DIRTY_INPUT: This is a variant of the FULL_LEF flow and is useful in
case of mismatch of the LIB and LEF data. The mismatch includes
missing cells in LIB or LEF, pin mismatch between LIB and LEF models,
and area mismatch. In this mode, SpyGlass Physical streamlines the
mismatches using some approximations and proceeds further with the
design flow.

Running the Library Compilation Modes in SpyGlass

Physical
The following table summarizes the library compilation modes and the
inputs required to run these modes:

S.No LIB LEF Mode Design

Analysis
1 Yes NO NO_LEF Pre-Floorplan
2 Yes Yes (Technology TECH_LEF Pre-Floorplan
only)
3 Yes Yes FULL_LEF Post-Floorplan
4 Yes (Partial/Full) Yes (Partial/Full) DIRTY_INPUT Post-Floorplan

In the presence of the LEF and LIB technology views, SpyGlass Physical
allows complete pre-floorplan and post-floorplan analysis of a design. You

17
Synopsys, Inc.
Compiling Libraries using SpyGlass Library Compiler

Library Compilation in SpyGlass Physical

can use a library compiled in the NO_LEF or TECH_LEF modes only for the
pre-floorplan design analysis in SpyGlass Physical.

Steps to Compile Libraries in SpyGlass Physical

You can compile the technology library in any of the modes described in the
Library Compilation Modes in SpyGlass Physical section.
Perform the following steps to setup a library:
1. Prepare a source file, such as libcompile.f and specify the following
input:
a. Specify the required .lib files using the -gateslib option.
If a cell is defined multiple times in the same or different libraries,
only the first definition is honoured and the remaining ones are
ignored.
b. Specify the required .lef files using the -lef option. The process
technology file should be provided as the first file using the -lef
option.
If a cell is defined multiple times in the same or different lef files,
only the first definition is honoured and the remaining ones are
ignored.
c. Specify the target library names to be compiled using the
-physical_target option.
d. Enable the SpyGlass Physical library compilation feature using the
-physical option.
2. Launch the physical lib compilation feature the following
command- line option:
spyglass_lc -f libcompile.f
The above command compiles the library in the FULL_LEF mode. In
case, the -lef option is not provided, the library is automatically
compiled in the NO_LEF mode.
Following is a sample libcompile.f file:
-gateslib ./raw_data/libs/lib1.lib
-gateslib ./raw_data/libs/lib2.lib
-gateslib ./raw_data/libs/lib3.lib
-lef ./raw_data/lefs/tsmc13fsg_8lm.lef

18
Synopsys, Inc.
 Compiling Libraries using SpyGlass Library Compiler

Library Compilation in SpyGlass Physical

-lef ./raw_data/lefs/tech_lef.lef
-lef ./raw_data/lefs/lef1.lef
-lef ./raw_data/lefs/lef2.lef
-lef ./raw_data/lefs/lef3.lef
-physical
-physical_target typical
3. For using any of the advanced features of library compilation, create a
lib configuration file. These advanced features include compiling the
library in the TECH_LEF mode or the DIRTY_INPUT mode, compiling
multi-vt libraries, and using the ARCT flow. The lib configuration file
needs to be provided to spyglass_lc using the -physical_lib_config_file
option. The syntax of the configuration file is given below:
[ALL]
version=5.1
vendor_name=<string e.g. vendor1 or none>
lib_name=<string e.g. lib1>
lib_config_name=<string e.g. demo_typ>
vt_cmd_file=<path of vt file>
lib_prep_mode=<lib prep mode>
ARCT_PATH=<ARCT file path>
For more information on arguments details of the configuration file, see
Configuration File Used during Library Compilation in SpyGlass Physical section.
4. In addition to the libcompile.f file containing the lib and lef source data,
the lib configuration file needs to be provided to spyglass_lc using the -
physical_lib_config_file option as shown below:
spyglass_lc -f libcompile.f
-physical_lib_config_file <libconfig file>
Alternatively, you can specify the libconfig file in the libcompile.f file
using the -physical_lib_config_file option.
5. By default, the lib compilation output is generated in the current
working directory. If you want to re-direct the output to some other
location, you can use the -wdir option to specify the path of compiled
library data. You can specify relative or absolute paths as input to this
argument.

19
Synopsys, Inc.
Compiling Libraries using SpyGlass Library Compiler

Library Compilation in SpyGlass Physical

6. After compiling the libraries, check the Technology Library path, which
points to the directory containing the technology information, and
provide the same in the design run.
Depending on whether the -wdir option was specified or not, the
technology library data is created in the wdir or the current working
directory. The sgp_tech sub-directory is created in the above path that
contains the technology data.
SpyGlass Physical Library preparation requires that Technology LEF file is
specified prior to any other LEF source file, as shown in the following
examples:
-lef <tech_header.lef> \
-lef <lib1_noTech.lef> \
-lef <lib2_noTech.lef> \
-lef <lib3_noTech.lef> \
However, SpyGlass Physical does support LEF input where Technology LEF
header is repeated in a subsequent LEF source file. Therefore, ensure that
if Technology LEF data is repeated in multiple LEF files, it is consistent with
the Technology LEF header in the first LEF file.

Configuration File Used during Library Compilation in

SpyGlass Physical
Following is the syntax of the library configuration file.
[ALL]
version=5.1
vendor_name=<string e.g. vendor1 or none>
lib_name=<string e.g. lib1>
lib_config_name=<string e.g. demo_typ>
vt_cmd_file=<path of vt file>
lib_prep_mode=<lib prep mode>
ARCT_PATH=<ARCT file path>
user_lef_metal_spacing=MET1(f1), MET2(f2)
The configuration file should have [ALL] record in the first line. All other
arguments are optional and are described below:
 Version: The current supported version is ''5.1''.

20
Synopsys, Inc.
 Compiling Libraries using SpyGlass Library Compiler

Library Compilation in SpyGlass Physical

 vendor_name: Specifies the technology vendor name. You can specify

any string value as an input to this argument. If unspecified, this field is
ignored.
 lib_name: Specifies the library name. You can specify any string value
as an input to this argument. If unspecified, the value for this field is
assumed as "sgp_lib.tech".
 lib_config_name: Specifies the library configuration name that is used
to identify the PVT condition for which the library is being compiled. You
can specify any string value as an input to this argument. If unspecified,
the value for this field is assumed as "sgp_config".
 vt_cmd_file: Required only if you want to process the multi-VT data. In
case your library has multi-VT cells, prepare a VT file containing
information of multi-VT cells and libraries. If the library already has
multi-VT attributes set, the VT file is not required. For more information
on multi-VT library preparation, refer to the Multi-Vt Flow Application
Note.
 lib_prep_mode: Enables the required library compilation mode as
described in the Library Compilation Modes in SpyGlass Physical section. You
can specify one of the following values as an input to this argument:
no_lef, tech_lef, full_lef, or dirty_input.
NOTE: These input values are case-insensitive.
The no_lef mode is inferred automatically, if the lef data is not
provided using the -lef option and the lib_prep_mode option is not
set. Similarly the full_lef mode is inferred automatically, if the lef
data is provided using the -lef option and the lib_prep_mode
option is not set. If the lib_prep_mode is specified using the
configuration file, it overrides the default interpretation.
 ARCT_PATH: Used in cases where the parasitic extraction has to be
done using the Interconnect Technology Format (ITF) specification
parasitic extraction. This option takes the file name of an encrypted ITF
file. For more details on encrypting and using the ITF format within SGP,
refer to the ITF Support Application Note.
 user_lef_metal_spacing: Used to set some non-default value of the
metal layer spacing. In the above syntax, MET1 and MET2 are metal
layer names and f1 and f2 are float numbers, which represent
corresponding spacing values. You can specify a comma-separated key
value pair of metal layer name and corresponding spacing value.

Parsing Library-File
Statements by SpyGlass
Library Compiler

The SpyGlass® Library Compiler (SGLC), invoked using the

spyglass_lc utility, is primarily based on the syntax and semantics
specified in the Liberty User Guide (LUG 2013.12).
Following are some properties of SGLC on how it parses a liberty file:
 Parsing of Comment Statements
 Parsing of Attribute Statements
 Parsing of Group Statements

23
Synopsys, Inc.
Parsing Library-File Statements by SpyGlass Library Compiler

Parsing of Comment Statements

Parsing of Comment Statements

SGLC parses comment statements in a liberty file according to the
following rules:
 SGLC supports single line comments ("//") as in C language. LUG does
not mention anything about single line comments in liberty files.
NOTE: "//" specified inside strings (attribute values) is considered a part of the string
and not a comment statement.
 SGLC does not support nested comment structures. There is no mention
or use of nested comments in LUG.

24
Synopsys, Inc.
 Parsing Library-File Statements by SpyGlass Library

Parsing of Attribute Statements

Parsing of Attribute Statements

SGLC parses the attribute statements in a liberty file according to the
following rules:
 A single space on either side of a colon is not mandatory. For example:
pin (X) {
direction:input; <----no space
capacitance : 1.5 ; <----more than one space
}
 A single semicolon is considered as an empty statement. A semicolon is
optional at the end of a statement. In addition, a semicolon can be
specified after opening/closing curly brackets and start/end of
statements. For example:
pin (A) { ; <-----extra semicolon
direction : input <-----optional semicolon
; capacitance : 1.5 ; <-----extra semicolon at start
}; <-----extra semicolon
; <-----empty statement

Categorizing Attributes by SpyGlass Library Compiler

SGLC can treat an attribute in the following four ways depending upon the
type of the attribute:
 Parsing the attribute and populating it in the object model.
There are certain attributes that are populated in the object model after
syntax checking.
 Parsing the attribute but not populating it in the object model.
There are certain attributes on which only syntax checking is done but
they are not populated in the object model. Requirement of populating
these attributes in the object model is based on the product
requirements.
 Not parsing the attribute but not displaying warning messages.
There are certain attributes/groups which, though exist in LUG, are
ignored by SGLC. No warning is flagged for such attributes/groups. In

25
Synopsys, Inc.
Parsing Library-File Statements by SpyGlass Library Compiler

Parsing of Attribute Statements

addition, no syntax checking is performed on them. In case a particular

group is ignored, the attributes/sub-groups specified in that group are
also ignored.
 Parsing the attribute and displaying warning messages.
In case of unknown attributes or new attributes, SGLC flags a warning
(LIBWRN_78) and ignores those attributes.
In addition, if an attribute is known but it is not specified in the required
scope (for example, direction attribute specified in cell group),
the attribute is ignored and a warning (LIBWRN_111) is flagged.
NOTE: User-defined attributes and groups (declared using
define and
define_group statements) are parsed and stored in the object model.
Example
library( mylib ) {
cell ( mycell ) {
direction : input ;
pin ( mypin ) {
my_direction : input ;
}
}
}

The following warning messages are displayed:

ID Rule Alias Severity File Line Wt Message

[0] LIBWRN_111 Warning a.lib 3 10 00 Construct
'direction'
is not
supported
in the
scope of

Attribute
'my_directi
on' in
group 'pin'

26
Synopsys, Inc.
 Parsing Library-File Statements by SpyGlass Library

Parsing of Group Statements

Parsing of Group Statements

SGLC parses the group statements in a liberty file according to the
following rules:
 SGLC allows the use of opening curly brackets in a new line whereas
most EDA tools expect the curly brackets in the same line. For example:
cell ( mycell )
{ <-----brackets in new line
........
}
 SGLC supports the use of nested parenthesis. For example:
pin ((( CIN ))) { <----nested parenthesis
.............
}

Interpreting Library-
Attributes by SpyGlass
Library Compiler

This section helps you to understand how SpyGlass Library Compiler

(SGLC) reads a library file. For better understanding, refer to the Legend
Table that describes the different attribute value types. The subsequent
sections describe how SGLC interprets each attribute in a liberty file, that
is, the value type with which it associates each attribute. If any attribute in
a liberty file is not specified with the expected value type, SGLC flags a
syntax error (LIBSTX_403).
As discussed earlier, a group statement contains attribute-statements and
(sub)group-statements. This document is organized based on groups.
Within a group, the attribute statements are specified with their associated
value type while the sub-group statements are present as links. Clicking a
sub-group name takes you to that group.
Example
* Library Group contains *
library( complex_string ) {
..............
input_threshold_pct_fall : float ; <-Value type for
the attribute
output_threshold_pct_fall : float ;
input_threshold_pct_rise : float ;

29
Synopsys, Inc.
Interpreting Library-Attributes by SpyGlass Library Compiler

output_threshold_pct_rise : float ;
................
CellGroup
ScalingFactorData
EmLutTemplateGroup
.........
}
* Cell Group contains *
cell( complex_string ) {
...............
PinGroup
...............
}
As mentioned in the Categorizing Attributes by SpyGlass Library Compiler
section, there are four different categories of attributes/groups. All the
attributes/groups falling in Category 1 and 2 are described in this
document. Attributes/groups of category 3 are captured separately as part
of each attribute/group description and in the appendix. Please note that
the attributes and sub-groups of the ignored group are also ignored. These
attributes and sub-groups are not mentioned in this document.
