Abstract:
1. A method for modeling a circuit, comprising: receiving a netlist that defines a plurality of connections between a plurality of circuit elements; identifying, with an electronic processor, a subset of the connections; routing the identified connections with a first group of wires based on a first minimum spacing distance, wherein each of the first group of wires has a first wire width; routing at least a portion of the remaining connections with a second group of wires based on the first minimum spacing distance, wherein each of the second group of wires has a second wire width and the second wire width is smaller than the first wire width; and replacing the first group of wires with a third group of wires having the second wire width, wherein each of the wires in the third group is separated from other wires by at least a second minimum spacing distance and the second minimum spacing distance is greater than the first minimum spacing distance.
