Abstract

A facility is provided for automatically generating design data for a semiconductor circuit including a crossbar switch. The method includes synthesizing the crossbar switch using predefined multiplexer building blocks, where the predefined multiplexer building blocks include at least a multiplexer, an input driver and a select driver. In addition, the method includes regularly placing the predefined multiplexer building blocks to define a crossbar switch arrangement, testing the crossbar switch arrangement for timing constraints and re-synthesizing the crossbar switch and/or replacing the predefined multiplexer building blocks based on the testing.
