Abstract
Views for signals and instances are provided in a table based design entry system. The signal view allows a designer to enter signals to be used in a design. The signals may be individually entered or imported from pre-defined or external packages of signals. The instance view allows the designer to enter components and to define connectivity of pins of the components to signals. The components may be entered individually or imported from predefined or external packages. An naming routines provides signal name generation and copying names of other components (e.g., pin names) to name the signals. Data entered into the table based entry system is checked for errors (duplicate names, syntax, etc.), and exported to other design tools for processes such as simulation, layout, etc.
