Network C is a programming language designed for constructing simulation models of VLSI circuits and systems. The language, which is a superset of C, supports a range of modeling capabilities including approximate solution of Kirchoff equations at the circuit level and discrete event functional simulation at the system level. When used to model a MOS circuit, the system first decomposes the circuit into a set of independent stages. The values ...
Coordinate Free LAP (CFL) is a library of subroutines written in C intended to facilitate the construction of VLSI circuit layouts. The Operators of CFL generate new cells by forming combinations of existing cells using only relative positioning, that is without reference to a system of coordinates. CFL is able to assemble sets of large cells very quickly because its positioning and routing operations work from descriptions of the boundaries ...
