Techniques to generate a more accurate simulation model

摘要

Techniques generating a simulation model for a circuit design are disclosed. One of the techniques includes extracting a plurality design properties associated with the circuit design. The design properties are extracted from a netlist of the circuit design and may include an input/output (I/O) buffer setting extracted from a first netlist of the circuit design or an environmental condition associated with the circuit design. A second netlist for the circuit design is generated based on the design properties and is simulated based on the design properties. A simulation model for the circuit design is generated. In an exemplary embodiment, the simulation model reflects the I/O buffer setting or the environmental condition associated with the circuit design.
