The main objective of this thesis is to develop a software solution for automatic generation of discrete functional models and circuit topologies of arithmetic CMOS computer hardware based on abstracted input. A functional model refers to a program that facilitates both qualitative and quantitative analysis of a designed computer circuit by means of simulations. A hardware topology refers to the configuration and interconnection of the circuit regardless of the physical chip layout. A simple custom programming language was created, which can be used to describe and synthesize arithmetic and logic computer subsystems, and only works with the most fundamental instructions, which can nonetheless be used to build complex systems. A third-party software is used to host all simulations of the generated models. A separate program was developed, which is able to model an arbitrary logic gate as a transistor circuit, run simulations, and estimate key metrics to be used in the mentioned discrete system models. The implemented software tools were tested on several tasks, including the design of a trigonometric unit that generates the values of a parametrized sinusoid on demand.
