Methods, systems, and articles for implementing extraction and electrical analysis-driven module creation

摘要

Various processes or modules described herein enable the schematic design tools to obtain physical data of a physical design and to perform one or more simulations in the schematic domain with such physical data such that the schematic design tools are made electrically aware of the physical data. Various types of data in the physical domain may be transferred to the schematic domain for the performance of one or more schematic simulations with the transferred data. The schematic designs are thus made electrically aware of such data from the physical domain and may incorporate any layout induced effects early in the schematic design stage or even at the time a schematic instance of a physical module is to be created in the schematic domain.

1. A computer implemented method for implementing analysis-driven module creation for an electronic design, comprising:
using at least one processor to perform a process the process comprising: identifying or receiving schematic electrical information from a result of schematic simulation generated by a schematic simulator for the electronic design; transferring the schematic electrical information in a schematic domain to a physical module creation or modification session; and performing a physical module creation or modification process in a physical domain for a physical module of the electronic design in the physical module creation or modification session by using at least the schematic electrical information while running the schematic simulation with updated physical data from the physical module creation or modification process to update the result of schematic simulation, wherein
the schematic simulator is made aware of the physical implementation by using at least physical data identified from an incomplete physical design in the physical domain to generate the schematic electrical information.
