Abstract
With the scaling of CMOS technology slowly coming to a halt due to quantum mechanics effects progressively eroding its performance as transistor dimensions shrink, new and experimental technologies for digital circuits are being explored and prototyped with increased effort. Design tools for such technologies have been created for these purposes and their development and refinement is now more critical than ever. ToPoliNano, developed by the VLSI group of the Polytechnic University of Turin, is one such tool, dedicated to the design and simulation of digital circuits built with nanomagnetic technologies based on Magnetic QCA. A robust EDA tool by itself with an easy-to-use GUI, it only missed, with regards to the more established professional software available to circuit designers that work with CMOS technology, the flexibility of a dual GUI/command-line offering.
The aim of this Master’s thesis consisted therefore of expanding the capabilities of ToPoliNano by equipping it with a text-based workflow, allowing users to access the program’s powerful features by means of text commands and automation scripts
