Abstract: Embodiments include herein are directed towards a method for electronic circuit design is provided. Embodiments may include allowing, at a graphical user interface, a user to initiate a co-design mode associated with an electronic design. Embodiments may further include allowing, at the GUI, the user to select a shape to trace connectivity from. Embodiments may also include tracing the connectivity of the shape across one or more overlaps and identifying one or more pins associated with the connectivity. Embodiments may further include determining a correct pin from an instance associated with the connectivity and displaying the connectivity at the GUI.

Abstract: Methods and systems provide aspects of electronics layout design including copying of layout element(s) and graphically defining a one-to-one correspondence between two elements. An exemplary method may include defining a cloning constraint for a layout, rendering a user interface (UI) to display at least one of a schematic and form representation of the layout, and receiving a selection of at least one element in the layout. The method may create a movable drag set based on the selection, and responsive to a matching of at least one element of the drag set with another element in the layout, performing a one-to-one correspondence for the matched elements. The matching may be an overlap of at least one element in the drag set with an element in the layout having the same master.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for electronic design automation. The method may include providing, using one or more computing devices, an electronic design. The method may further include receiving an indication that a cursor is hovering over an overlap associated with the electronic design and in response to receiving the indication, computing one or more via parameters, based upon, at least in part, a topology associated with the overlap. The method may also include displaying, at a graphical user interface, a potential via and allowing, at the graphical user interface, adjustments to the one or more via parameters.

Abstract: Various embodiments implement electronic designs with cloning techniques by identifying a root device corresponding to a master design in an electronic design, performing one or more sets of searches for device correspondence with respect to the root device, and implementing the electronic design by at least characterizing the device correspondence based at least in part upon one or more criterion for the one or more sets of searches. These techniques implement the electronic design by characterizing the device correspondence through at least determining whether the device correspondence represents a clone, a mutant, or a user clone and by identifying and replicating clones, mutants, and/or user clones in the electronic design.
