Abstract

The Algorithmic Design Language (ADL), provides a means to procedurally describe the functional, circuit, schematic and mask aspects of integrated circuits. The constructs of this language have been coded in the C language and are intended for application to IC design. C programs that incorporate ADL routines are executed to build a data base from which CIF files, input files to circuit simulation programs or a textual representation of ADL's own highly structured data base can be generated.
