Abstract

A method for constructing a latch mapping between a first level description and a second level description of a digital system, wherein the first level description and the second level descriptions identify components in the digital system using a predefined naming convention, is provided. The method includes identifying first latch components in the first level description and, for each identified first latch component, storing a first string comprising a selected property of the first latch component in a first storage. The method further includes identifying second latch components in the second level description and, for each second latch component, storing a second string comprising a selected property of the second latch component in a second storage. The method further includes generating a latch mapping by matching the first strings in the first storage with the second strings in the second storage.
