Abstract

See full text

The invention describes a method for expanding (flattening) hierarchical descriptions of electronic circuits into flat descriptions. The method is characterized by two processes: one which eliminates feed-through and implicit signals, and another which pre-plans the layout of the flattened data structure before flattening. The flattening process may then take advantage of a number of resulting efficiencies to operate more quickly than present flatteners.
