Abstract
Methods of enabling functions of a design to be implemented in an integrated circuit device are disclosed. An exemplary method comprises applying test data to a plurality of dice having different element types for implementing circuits, wherein the plurality of dice have a common layout of the different element types for implementing the circuits; receiving output data from the plurality of dice in response to applying the test data to the plurality of dice; analyzing the output data from the plurality of dice; transforming by a computer the output data to characterization data comprising timing data associated with the different element types for implementing circuits, wherein the characterization data comprises data associated with regions of the dice, and storing the characterization data. A computer program product for enabling functions of a design to be implemented in an integrated circuit device is also disclosed.
