  • Patent number: 5566079
    Abstract: A method for producing a circuit layout comprising the steps of establishing high-level input parameters which identify input/output characteristics and high-level functional parameters of a data path, inputting the input parameters to a compiler, the compiler performing steps of creating a data path netlist by selecting data path components in response to the established high-level input parameters; and automatically selecting control logic for the data path components. The data path netlist is a high-level netlist of Boolean logic which can then easily be translated into a gate level implementation of the circuit layout.
    Type: Grant
