A method of determining circuit characteristics of an integrated circuit design defined by RTL code, said method comprising the steps of identifying hardware elements in the RTL code, determining key pins for said identified hardware elements, and extracting critical design structure from the RTL code. The hardware elements identified include flipflops, latches, tristate buffers, bidirectional buffers and memories. The critical design structures include design hierarchy and nets, including clock nets, multiply-driven nets, reset nets, and RAM write enable nets.
