Abstract

A method of designing a circuit includes the step of establishing a matrix of circuit modules including sub-sets of circuit modules. A slice of circuit modules aligned along a first axis is selected from the matrix of circuit modules. The slice of circuit modules is replicated along a second axis to construct a logic structure with uniform height and width.
