Abstract
A structural primitive verification tool for memory compilers is described. A first set of memory structural primitives are supplied by a designer by filling in fields of a presented user interface. The first set of structural primitives describe certain physical layout features of a proposed memory array in an integrated circuit. A first model of a memory instance derived from the first set of memory structural primitives supplied by the designer is compared to a second model of a memory instance derived from a memory layout file from a memory compiler under-test. The first model is verified against the second model to verify to an integrity of the first set of memory structural primitives supplied by the designer compared to the memory layout file derived from a second set of memory structural primitives configuring that memory instance from the memory compiler.
