Abstract

A method for tracing paths within a circuit includes receiving a transistor level netlist description. After receiving the transistor level netlist, convert the transistor level netlist to a transistor level data structure. Then, convert the transistor level data structure to a set of channel connect groups (CCG). A directed graph of the CCG may be generated.
