Abstract
A computer aided design system for electronic digital circuitry allows the circuit designer to design a circuit using high level block components, The designer specifies data type and precision (bus width) parameters as desired for whichever circuit blocks and/or busses he desires, Then the system propagates the data types and precision throughout the design automatically to achieve circuit-wide consistency, The system can also be used to verify a circuit design for data type and bus width consistency, The system can also be used to determine the mode of operation for the circuit blocks in the circuit.
