-Zycad — A switch that writes the patterns in Zycad format. This is a serial format so, you must also specify the -Serial switch; failure to do so results in the command using the -Parallel default which generates an error.
Any time you save the pattern set in an ASIC vendor data format, you should also save the patterns in the ASCII format as backup.
Note This is in case you want to read in the patterns from an external file using the Set Pattern Source External command. The tool can only read in the ASCII pattern format or binary format.
Many ASIC vendors accept test pattern data in their own test data formats. ASIC vendor test data formats usually support only a single timing file. You can specify the test timing that each ASIC vendor requires by using different timing definition files for each format.
The ASIC vendor format switch choices are as follows:
-Compass — A switch that writes the patterns in the Compass Scan format from VLSI Technology.
-Fjtdl — A switch that writes the patterns in the Fujitsu FTDL-E format.
-LSITdl (FastScan Only) — A switch that writes the patterns in LSI TDL format. This is a parallel format so, if you specify the -Serial switch, the command generates an error.
In order to write in the LSITDL format, you are required to specify the -Map option where mapping_file is an LSILogic file containing set and observe points associated with each memory library cell used in the design.
-MItdl — A switch that writes the patterns in the Mitsubishi MITDL format.
-Mode Lsi — A switch that changes the functionality of the Verilog, VHDL, and WGL output formats so that the saved pattern files meet LSI Logic requirements. This switch is valid only with the -Verilog, -VHDL, -TSSIWGL, and -TSSIBinWGL switches.
-STil — A switch that writes the patterns in the STIL format.
-TItdl — A switch that writes the patterns in the Texas Instruments TDL 91 format.
