1. A computer implemented method for implementing an electronic circuit design with IR-drop awareness, comprising:

  • prior to completing an incomplete net of the electronic circuit design, using at least one processor to perform a process, the process comprising;

    identifying, determining, or updating physical data of a component that is situated along the incomplete net in an incomplete physical design of the electronic circuit design;

    characterizing an electrical parasitic that is associated with the physical data of the component by at least assembling one or more pieces of electric current information or one or more voltages in a schematic domain, rather than in a physical domain to which the incomplete physical design belongs; and

    characterizing an electrical characteristic that is associated with the electrical parasitic and the physical data of the component while the component is being added or modified along the incomplete net of the electronic circuit design.
