Abstract
A system and method automatically determines the physical memories inside a core or macro and their association with logical memories and their enabling signals. An integrated circuit (IC) source file that describes an integrated circuit in a hardware description language is received. The IC source file includes macros corresponding to memory. For each macro, a physical description file corresponding to the macro is generated. The description includes how the macro corresponds to the physical memory, associations of physical memories with the logical memory, enabling conditions, and data needed to test the memory.
