Analysing evolvable cell design for optimisation of routing options

Evolution of analogue circuitry on a cell based system can benefit from the use of a generic cell design. A comparative analysis of the re-routing ability of two different cell topologies is used to highlight the difficulty of assessing a generic cell design’s fitness for purpose. An analytical method is then proposed for the production of suitable comparable data.
