Abstract
A method for designing an integrated circuit comprises the step of selecting a system-level parameterized module that performs a specified type of function. The method also includes the steps of specifying values for parameters of the selected system-level module and generating a netlist file from the selected system-level module. In one embodiment, the system-level parameterized module is selected from a family of system-level parameterized modules that each perform a particular function within different parameter ranges.
