Patent ID: 11900035
Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer program product storing instructions which, when executed by at least one data processor of at least one computing device result in operations comprising:
receiving a target circuit design;
determining an attribute mismatch between the target circuit design and a golden circuit design by:
determining whether a log for synthesis design constraints associated with the golden circuit design contains an error, wherein the target circuit design has a different technology node size than the golden circuit design;
evaluating a target attribute of the target circuit design and a golden attribute of the golden circuit design; and
determining whether a number of timing paths of the target circuit design and a number of timing paths of the golden circuit design are equivalent; and

providing the attribute mismatch for further design iterations.
