Abstract

This paper presents a data structure for representing the structure of VLSI circuits and basic operations for manipulating this data structure. Its features include conceptual integrity, rich expressive power, and high extensibility. It forms the nucleus of a design analysis and synthesis system which has been used to design several major chips.
