  • Patent number: 11797732
    Abstract: A technique for designing circuits including receiving a data object representing a circuit for a first process technology, the circuit including a first sub-circuit, the first sub-circuit including a first electrical component and a second electrical component arranged in a first topology; identifying the first sub-circuit in the data object by comparing the first topology to a stored topology, the stored topology associated with the first process technology; identifying a first set of physical parameter values associated with first electrical component and the second electrical component of the first sub-circuit; determining a set of performance parameter values for the first sub-circuit based on a first machine learning model of the first sub-circuit and the identified set of physical parameters; converting the identified first sub-circuit to a second sub-circuit for the second process technology based on the determined set of performance parameter values; and outputting the second sub-circuit.
