| 摘要 | A designer uses an option device to switch one or more signal flows in a schematic design to create different versions for the same design. Currently, there is no related automatic tool for the automatic placement of option devices. In various embodiments, option device instances are used to decide option device positions. Option devices can be automatically placed and routing considered and adjusted as needed. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method for optimizing layout of a circuit, the method comprising: upon receipt of information specifying one or more option devices within a schematic of the circuit, determining, with one or more processors associated with one or more computer systems, placement of each of the one or more option devices in a layout of a circuit; and generating, with the one or more processor associated with the one or more computer systems, information indicative of the determined placement in the layout of the circuit of the one or more option devices creating a set of alternative layouts having automatically switching of one or more signal flows. | ||
