Integrated circuit design system with color-coded component loading estimate display
A method comprises generating a schematic of an integrated circuit (IC), the IC having a circuit component. The method also comprises searching a database having one or more configurations of the circuit component, each of the one or more configurations of the circuit component having a corresponding estimated resistance capacitance (RC) value and an assigned color scheme based on the estimated RC value. The method further comprises displaying the circuit component in the schematic as a symbol representing the circuit component, the symbol representing the circuit component being displayed having the assigned color scheme of a selected circuit component configuration. The method additionally comprises displaying a layout of the IC based on a determination that the schematic passed a design rule check, the displayed layout of the IC including the selected configuration of the circuit component, the selected configuration being displayed in the layout having the assigned color scheme.
