ABSTRACT:
Layout data about a core part of a predesigned microcontroller such as a CPU block obtained by custom layout design, and logical data about a peripheral part of the microcontroller are read out from a library of components. These layout and logical data are reused for the layout design of a new microcontroller. The peripheral part logical data is modified according to circuit information about the new microcontroller. Layout data about a peripheral part of the new microcontroller is generated by an automatic placement/wire routing tool from the modified logical data. The core part layout data is simply reused as is for a core part of the new microcontroller. Layout data about the entire new microcontroller is generated by a block-to-block automatic placement/wire routing tool from layout data about individual circuit blocks.
