    This document provides examples of TCL scripts for common tasks in VLSI design workflows. It first discusses preparing to write scripts by understanding requirements, developing algorithms, and testing scripts. It then provides 4 examples of TCL scripts: 1) Finding nets over 200um long, 2) Finding input ports, 3) Separating clock and data nets into files, 4) Finding flops and their associated clocks. The scripts are intended to demonstrate practical TCL usage and may require tweaking for specific EDA tools.

    Practical Exposure to writing TCL


    with examples
    December 10, 2020
    Categories: Scripting, TCL
    Tags: Practical Exposure, TCL Examples

    Before explaining with the examples, let me clear few things.

    ⦁ Before going to write the script, first read all the blogs that I have mentioned in the TCL Scripting
    section. Once you have the problem statement, then understand what your requirement is here
    and then think how you can get the solution. Now try writing algorithm for the entire bridge
    between problem statement and solution. Once done with the algorithm, start writing script step
    by step with the validation over TCL shell or tool that you use.

    If you have written one single script then write to me via comment or email. I would be happy to
    see the change in you. I would be glad to see you learning and writing the TCL Script. If you want
    to work on advance TCL writing, please let me know, we can further discuss.

    ⦁ Scripts examples that I am going to mention now can vary from tool to tool as few commands
    vary when tool is di!erent. Some of the scripts will 100% work on ICC2 and some will work on
    Innovus w.r.t physical design tools. You can learn to debug the script as this will help you to
    enhance your debugging skills. Let me know via comment or email if you are looking for any help.

    TCL Examples
    1. Find out all the nets present in the design having length more than 200 micron.

    foreach_in_collection net {
    :
    set dr_len dr_length]
    if {$dr_len > “300”} {
    echo “ $dr_len” >> nets_drLength.rpt
    }
    }

    2. Find out the ports present in the design with direction as INPUT.

    set OFILE
    set ports “”

    foreach_in_collection port {
    puts $OFILE ]
    }
    close $OFILE

    3. Find out the nets present in the design which are data and clock and dump into a file. You
    may tweak the script according to your need.

    set nets *

    foreach net $nets {

    set net_type net_type]


    if {$net_type == “clock”} {
    echo “ $net_type” >> nets_clk.rpt
    } else {
    echo “ $net_type” >> nets_data.rpt
    }
    }

    4. Find out all the flops present in the design with their associated clocks.

    set clks ]
    foreach clk $clks {
    all_registers -clock $clk
    puts “register count of clock $clk : ]”
    :
    }
    :
