Technology Translation

Conversion of a design netlist from one technology library to another is called technology translation. This powerful capability helps compare performance across different ASIC vendor libraries. However, this utility has its limitations and works 

The translate command replaces each cell in the design with the closest matching functional cell from the targetjibrary. In case such a matching cell is not found then it is converted to a cell from the generic library. The dont use, dontjouch, set default register type and the prefer command are useful commands that affect the translation process.
