METHOD OF ANALYSING BEHAVIOUR OF AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT IMPLEMENTED BY COMPUTER AND COMPRISING THE SELECTING OF PATHS ON THE BASIS OF SEVERAL CRITERIA BELONGING TO DIFFERENT TYPES
A method implemented by computer, for selecting representative paths for the analysis of the behavior of an integrated circuit according to a predefined analysis strategy, comprises the identification of the set of paths of the integrated circuit having logic gates and the construction of a list of the set of the paths. The method comprises: the selection of several criteria related to the behavior of the integrated circuit, chosen from among the following types: topology, usage, sensitivity, environment, criticality; the determination of values of the selected criteria for each of the identified paths; the application of a correlation function to aggregate the set of the values of criteria to define an aggregation criterion value; and the selection of a subset of representative paths from among the list of the paths, as a function of the value of the aggregation criterion of the paths and of the predefined analysis strategy.
