Abstract :
The N2S schematic generator, which uses a variable-ordering technique in the initial placement phase and simple heuristics in the final placement phase, is described. Its channel-routing techniques result in signal routing with minimal crossovers. The authors demonstrate the efficiency of N2S by applying it to a set of benchmark sequential circuits.<>
