ABSTRACT:
A system, method, and computer program product for approximating intrinsic capacitance of an integrated circuit (IC) block such as, for example, a compliable memory instance. Estimates of N-well capacitance, metal grid capacitance, and non-switching circuitry capacitance associated with the IC block are obtained. A total intrinsic capacitance of the IC block is then estimated based on the aforesaid constituent estimates.
