ABSTRACT:
A technique to generate a logic design for use in designing an integrated circuit (IC). The technique includes embedding a combinatorial one-dimensional logic block within a two-dimensional schematic presentation to form a unified database. The technique also includes following a set of design capture rules, importing the combinatorial one-dimensional logic block, and notifying a designer when importing the combinatorial data block violates the set of design capture rules.
