Abstract :
PlanMaker, a design knowledge entry tool based on the Falcon Framework, is presented. PlanMaker is a customized version of a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is linked to a simulator and a schematic capture tool, allowing designers to capture their know-how to domains of design simulation, analysis, and verification. Know-how can be entered without great software expertise and can be stored in reusable external libraries
