urgent: timescale and read_saif

Hi,

I have a timescale of 1ns/10ps set for my verilog simulation and 1ns is
the timeunit of my gate library. When I back annotate the saif file
onto the synthesis tool using read_saif, I had to put a "-scale 10"
value, to match input activity statistics, though my timeunits are the
same.

Does anyone know why I had to add "-scale 10" to read_saif even though
the timeunits are the same?

Please help.

Thanks in advance
SS

What values "(TIMESCALE xx ps)" is in your saif file?

 

[SS]

It has (TIMESCALE 1 ns) as one of its initial lines.

How do you create SAIF?

 

[SS]

I create forward saif using lib2saif from dc_shell and backward saif
from verilog

$toggle_report("mux21_p_sim.saif",1.0e-9,"testbench.a1"); is the
command I use to get backward saif

Try to use
$toggle_report("mux21_p_sim.saif",1.0e-11,"testbench.a1");
