Abstract
Systems and methods for designing integrated circuits (ICs) are provided. A representative method includes: providing a netlist; determining components required to implement test of at least a portion of the integrated circuit defined by the netlist; provide a revised netlist including the components determined; and performing a place and route operation with respect to the revised netlist.
Claims15
A method for designing an integrated circuit (IC), said method comprising:
- providing a netlist;
- determining components required to implement test of at least a portion of the integrated circuit defined by the netlist;
- providing a revised netlist including the components determined;
- and
- performing a place and route operation with respect to the revised netlist.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon information for performing a computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
- providing a netlist;
- determining components required to implement test of at least a portion of the integrated circuit defined by the netlist;
- providing a revised netlist including the components determined;
- and
- performing a place and route operation with respect to the revised netlist.
A system for designing an integrated circuit (IC), said system comprising:
- a processor operative to execute instructions;
- and
- a memory communicating with the processor and storing instructions for:
- providing a netlist;
- determining components required to implement test of at least a portion of the integrated circuit defined by the netlist;
- providing a revised netlist including the components determined;
- and
- performing a place and route operation with respect to the revised netlist.
