摘要: A method of designing a circuit is described. netlist for generated. An analysis the then executed to generate set cell instance performance values that characterize multiple gate instance-level components in view selected parameter, such as timing, power consumption, or area. Relying upon values, problematic component within identified replacement. functionally equivalent candidate are identified. Each analyzed with respect parameter. The identifies an optimally performing component. substituted into improve circuit.
