Method and apparatus for cross simulation data sharing to facilitate higher resolution data measurements for complex designs

摘要

A method and apparatus is presented for performing simulation of complex circuits. A circuit is simulated in a fast simulator. State information, which is the output of the fast simulator, is translated in a translator and then the circuit is simulated in a slow simulator. In one embodiment, the circuit is modeled in a digital format in the fast simulator and modeled in an analog format in the slow simulator.
