Creating .lib file from Verilog netlist

Creating a dummy .lib file is something every physical design engineer has done now and then. If you have a verilog model of the block available, your task gets easier. The following script automates .lib generation from your verilog netlist. Use this as a dummy .lib to get your design flow going or use it as a template for your analog blocks for modifying the values.

Customize, edit and use. The script creates a simple Data Structure. So any modification can be done pretty easily. The script parses the verilog for the module name specified, and collects the ports & directions. In the .lib file written out, a default capacitance and transition value is specified. This is a good starting point for your blocks.

Usage: create_lib <verilog_netlist> <module_name> [transition_value] [capacitance_value]

#!/usr/bin/perl

if ($#ARGV < 1 ) {
    print "usage: create_lib <verilog_netlist> <module_name> \n";
