Abstract
A system for designing an integrated circuit generates a schematic of the integrated circuit based on a set of system design rule constraints. The system also receives a proposed device array layout from a device array design module. The device array design module is configured to generate the proposed device array layout free from the set of system design rule constraints. The system further generates a revised schematic of the integrated circuit including the proposed device array layout. The system additionally determines if the revised schematic violates one or more of the system design rule constraints.
