Abstract:
A method of providing compilable variations of parameterized functional blocks for electronic designs, the parameterized functional blocks requiring specific settings before they can be compiled to unambiguous circuit blocks forming parts of electronic designs, the method comprising:receiving a first set of option settings containing user-selected settings for a first parameterized functional block; generating a first compilable variation file specifying the first set of option settings; receiving a second set of option settings containing user-selected settings for a second parameterized functional block; and generating a second compilable variation file specifying the second set of option settings, wherein when the first variation file is compiled with the first parameterized functional block, a first unambiguous circuit block is formed and when the second variation file is compiled with the second parameterized functional block, a second unambiguous circuit block is formed.
