Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for routing in an electronic circuit design. Embodiments may include providing, using a processor, a hierarchical electronic design having a plurality of partitions, at least one routing blockage, a source pin location, and one or more sink pin locations. Embodiments may also include generating a routing wire network configured to connect the source pin location and the one or more sink pin locations to create one or more segments, wherein generating the routing wire network includes creating two or more feed-through ports at one or more of the plurality of partitions. Embodiments may further include applying a maze-routing approach to each of the one or more segments of the routing wire network to form a routed net associated with the hierarchical electronic design.
