CREATING A STANDARD CELL CIRCUIT DESIGN FROM A PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC DEVICE CIRCUIT DESIGN

摘要

A computer-implemented method of converting a circuit design for a programmable logic device (PLD) to a standard cell circuit design can include unmapping a PLD circuit design to a gate level netlist (110), mapping logic gates of the netlist to functionally equivalent standard cells (120), and including the standard cells within the standard cell circuit design (125). Design constraints for the standard cell circuit design can be automatically generated (135, 140). The design constraints for the standard cell circuit design can be output (145).
