ABSTRACT:
Methods are provided for helping to automate the design of electronic circuitry in which multiple memory functions are provided by common physical memory. Interactive computer screens prompt the user to enter information about the multiple memory functions that the user desires. The data thus entered by the user is then reformatted for use as specific values of parameters in a parameterized function that can provide the required circuit design when its parameters are thus supplied with specific values.
