  • System and method for integrated circuit planar netlist interpretation
    Patent number: 7937678
    Abstract: Systems and methods for integrated circuit planar netlist interpretation are disclosed. In one embodiment, higher abstraction level descriptions of an integrated circuit are generated from a planar netlist and layout data of the integrated circuit. Various embodiments may derive the higher abstraction levels through, for example, netlist compression and netlist partitioning. Other embodiments may derive the higher abstraction levels using, for example, device and module hypothesis search functions based on device properties and design constraints derived from netlist and layout data.
    Type: Grant
