Abstract :
A declaration hierarchical notation is introduced that allows the parametric representation of entire families of VLSI circuits. Layout, schematic diagrams and network structure are all accommodated by the notation in a way that emphasizes common elements. The notation is the basic of a structured environment for developing design generators as well as capturing design expertise.<>
