Abstract :
This paper presents a new algorithm that automatically classifies transistors as bidirectionals or unidirectionals in any CMOS circuits. This algorithm uses simple rules based on node strength as well as local transistor direction and path informations. Because circuit transistors are processed in linear running time, this approach enables the algorithm to be fast
