METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY OPTIMIZING PHYSICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT RESPONSIVE TO SIMULATION ANALYSIS

A method and system are provided for optimizing physical implementation of an electronic circuit responsive to simulation analysis thereof. The method and system include schematically defining the electronic circuit to include a plurality of circuit elements interconnected at respective nodes by a plurality of nets, and acquiring parametric values for a plurality of predetermined operational parameters from simulated operation of the electronic circuit. The parametric values are automatically processed to generate a plurality of parametric constraints corresponding thereto for optimizing physical implementation of the electronic circuit. A circuit layout at least partially representing a physical implementation of the schematic definition is then generated. The circuit layout, which includes a plurality of devices interconnected by a plurality of tracks, is adaptively configured in accordance with the parametric constraints.
