vcd2saif converter

[nasrmiad]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to do a power analysis of a digital circuit. I have the RTL and it's testbench and have generated the VCD file from modelsim. Now I want to convert the vcd file into a SAIF file format. I know that synopsys has a vcd2saif script that does the conversion, but can't find it anywhere in the internet. Do you know any link to the script or any other way of converting vcd to saif  ??

I have been searching around the internet for the same thing and never found anything. I am posting here so that some one 'googling' later can find my solution.

The power analyzer in Vivado (Im using 2016.3 at the moment) requires a .saif file. The Altera tools (Quartus 2 15.0) require a .vcd file. I usually use Modelsim (10.1a) for simulation and am familiar with how to generate a .vcd file but could not find anything about generating a .saif file from Modelsim. We do not typicall run Modelsim from within Vivado (the only method shown in the Vivado documentation for doing power analysis) but I found the following Modelsim commands from looking through an example Vivado project:

power add -r -in -out -inout -internal /testbench/UUT/*
run -all
power report -all -bsaif UUT.saif

Enjoy!
