In the late 1980s, my company was in the market for its first CAE (computer-aided-engineering) system. Because we did a lot of mixed-signal design, we were particularly interested in being able to simulate those kinds of circuits. We developed a series of benchmark tests that included pure-digital circuits, pure-analog circuits, and one mixed-signal circuit. We based all of these circuits on real-life designs that we had recently worked with.
