A method of designing an integrated circuit for an application having standards having a plurality of primitives, each of the primitives having a corresponding response. The method includes generating a macros description of each of the primitives and the response corresponding to each of the primitives, wherein the macros description includes information relating to a number of first fields for each of the primitives and a number of second fields for the response corresponding to each of the primitives. The method further includes receiving a specification of the behavior of the integrated circuit in response to the primitives that has one or more values specified for each of the second fields, and generating a hardware description language representation for the integrated circuit based on the macros description and the specification. Also, a software tool which implements the method.
A method of designing an integrated circuit for use in an application having standards having a plurality of primitives, each of said primitives having a corresponding response, the method comprising:
A computer software tool on a computer-readable medium for facilitating the design of an integrated circuit for use in an application having a plurality of primitives, each of said primitives having a corresponding response, said software tool having one or more computer executable routines adapted to:
