Abstract:
An incremental parasitic extraction system includes a noise analysis module configured to perform a first noise analysis on at least one first net with respect to at least one aggressor net. The incremental parasitic extraction system further includes an optimizer module and an extraction module. The optimizer module performs a first optimization activity on the at least one first net based on results of the first noise analysis. The optimizer module further generates a first invalidation list based on the first optimization activity, and a second invalidation list based on a type of the first optimization action so as to add the second invalidation list to the first invalidation list. The extraction module processes the first and second invalidation lists and performs an extraction and noise analysis process on the first and second invalidation lists so as to determine at least one new RC network and associated noise analysis results.
