Abstract

In a method of automatically sizing and biasing a circuit, a database is provided including a plurality of records related to cells that can be utilized to form an integrated circuit. A cell parameter of a cell for a circuit is selected and compared to cell parameters residing in the records stored in the database. One record in the database is selected based upon this comparison and a performance characteristic of the circuit is determined from this record.
