Abstract

A method for identifying memory bit cells and connections for analysis of a circuit block. The method includes defining a bit pattern for each bit cell node in a bit cell. The method also includes defining a node pattern for each node in the circuit block; and matching the node patterns with the bit patterns. The bit cells and corresponding bit line connections and word line connections in the circuit block are determined based on matches found during the matching.
