INTEGRATED CIRCUIT SCHEMATICS HAVING IMBEDDED SCALING INFORMATION FOR GENERATING A DESIGN INSTANCE

摘要

A non-transitory computer-readable memory including first data representative of a topology of a circuit including a first circuit element and a second circuit element, and second data representative of a scaling rule for the first circuit element as a function of the second circuit element. A data processing method comprising retrieving first data representative of a topology of a circuit comprising a first circuit element and a second circuit element from a memory, retrieving second data representative of a scaling rule for the first circuit element as a function of the second circuit element from the memory, receiving a user input representative of a scaling factor, generating third data representative of an instance of the second circuit element using the scaling factor, and generating data representative of an instance of the first circuit element using the scaling factor, the scaling rule and the third data.
