Drawing Wireslisp

Abstract

WireLisp is a hierarchical circuit structure description language that combines the intuition of schematics and the generality of procedural description. It is different from other similar tools in that the schematics and procedural descriptions are closely intertwined. More specifically, WireLisp is embedded in Lisp but provides graphical constructs for the most common procedural constructs. A WireLisp program consists of a set of device definitions, each described in the most convenient way: Lisp expressions may be embedded in schematics and schematics may be embedded in Lisp as well. This allows descriptions to be highly expressive, yet easily specified and understood. This manual describes how to use the interactive graphic editor Xdp to make WireLisp drawings. Keywords: VLSI Circuits.
