Abstract :
A simple circuit specification language, NetList+, for rapid turn-around cell-based ASIC prototyping is discussed. By using NetList+, uniform representation is achieved for the specification, simulation, and physical description of a design. The goal is to establish an easy interfacing method between design specification and independent CAD tools so that a simple description can be used for various tools
