Abstract
Among other things, one or more systems and techniques for porting a circuit design from a first process design type to a second process design type are provided. A circuit design comprises one or more components, such as transistors, that are arranged and sized according to a first process design type, such as a 90 nm processing environment. The circuit design is partitioned into one or more topology categories such as a current mirror topology category or a differential pair topology category. Ordered sets of parameters are determined for respective topology categories. The components within the circuit design are resized based upon the one or more topology categories to generate a ported circuit design specified for the second process design type, such as a 50 nm processing environment.
