Abstract

Most library development effort is invested in coding andverifying custom or special function cells that cannot be easilyrepresented by traditional gates such as AND, OR, andare naturally encoded as tables. The library readerdescribed in this paper reads in existing simulation librariesand converts tables into efficient gate-level models for useby test-generation and other tools, thus automating the mostengineering-intensive task of library development.
