Method for technology porting of CAD designs, and computer program product therefor

摘要

An embodiment of a design of one or more devices such as e.g. integrated circuits is ported from a source design technology to a target design technology by: —producing a standardized set of porting rules which translate device information related to the device or devices from the source design technology to the target design technology, and—creating a migrated design for the device or devices resulting from porting the CAD design from the source design technology to the target design technology by applying the standardized set of rules to the device information related.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
producing, by using a computer, a set of porting rules which translate device information related to at least one device from a source design technology to a target design technology, and creating a migrated design for the at least one device resulting from porting a CAD design from the source design technology to the target design technology by applying the set of rules to the device information related to said at least one device; wherein the at least one device has plural device parameters, the method further includes, for each parameter: reading a parameter setting for the at least one device from the set of rules, setting the parameter read to a target device in the target design technology; and unleashing a callback associated to the parameter set to the target device.
