System and method for routing connections

A system for generating a model of a circuit, comprising:

• a memory operable to store processor instructions;
• and
• a processor operable, when executing processor instructions, to:
• receive a netlist that defines a plurality of connections between a plurality of circuit elements;
• identify a subset of the connections;
• route the identified connections with a first group of wires based on a first minimum spacing distance, wherein each of the first group of wires has a first wire width;
• route at least a portion of the remaining connections with a second group of wires based on the first minimum spacing distance, wherein each of the second group of wires has a second wire width and the second wire width is smaller than the first wire width;
• and
• replace the first group of wires with a third group of wires having the second wire width, wherein each of the wires in the third group is separated from other wires by at least a second minimum spacing distance and the second minimum spacing distance is greater than the first minimum spacing distance.

A computer product comprising computer-readable instructions encoded in electronic media, the instructions operable when executed to:

• receive a netlist that defines a plurality of connections between a plurality of circuit elements;
• identify a subset of the connections;
• route the identified connections with a first group of wires based on a first minimum spacing distance, wherein each of the first group of wires has a first wire width;
• route at least a portion of the remaining connections with a second group of wires based on the first minimum spacing distance, wherein each of the second group of wires has a second wire width and the second wire width is smaller than the first wire width;
• and
• replace the first group of wires with a third group of wires having the second wire width, wherein each of the wires in the third group is separated from other wires by at least a second minimum spacing distance and the second minimum spacing distance is greater than the first minimum spacing distance.
