TILP Versions

The version of a TILP for a component is important to understand the associated parameters and whether it is compatible with the given version of the tool. TILPs are backward compatible, that is, a design with an old version of TILP can be opened without any error. TILP evaluation is preserved by ensuring same geometry and connectivity is being generated in each TILP master along the new version of the tool.

You can upgrade the TILP version by regenerating the TILP to the most recent version using vrfUpdateTILPVersion. Use the vrfCheckTILPVersion and vrfUpdateTILPVersion SKILL functions to check and update the TILP versions.

Here is the table that shows the TILP versions, types of TILPs, and related parameters.
