EFFICIENT ANALOG LAYOUT PROTOTYPING BY LAYOUT REUSE WITH ROUTING PRESERVATION

摘要

A computer implemented method for routing preservation is presented. The method includes decomposing, using the computer, a geometric relationship between a first module, a second module, and a routing path of a source layout, when the computer is invoked to route the solution path. The method further includes disposing, using the computer, the routing path in a solution layout in accordance with the geometric relationship. The solution layout is not defined by a scaling of the source layout.

1. A computer implemented method for routing a solution path, the method comprising:
extracting, using the computer, from a source layout a position of a source path disposed along a first side of a first block and a first side of a second block, when the computer is invoked to route the solution path; and generating, using the computer, in the solution layout the solution path while maintaining the position of the source path along the first side of the first block and the first side of the second block, wherein a nearest distance between the first and second blocks in the source layout is scaled in the solution layout by a first number and at least one edge of either the first or second blocks in the source layout is scaled in the solution layout by a second number different from the first number.
