ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for converting a netlist of an integrated circuit from a first library to a second library. The first library may include logic cells AND, OR and NOT, and the second library may include logic cells NAND and NOR. The method includes steps as follows. Logic cells of the netlist are topologically sorted from outputs to inputs. AND and OR cells of the netlist are replaced with NOT, NAND and NOR cells. Simplification of the netlist is performed in a topological order.
