Gate-level Simulation
 

Overview

One can deploy our simulation package in a timed simulation mode or in cycle-based simulation mode. The timed 
simulation mode is based on our delay analysis engine and performs simulation based on actual delays calculated. 
Cycle based gate-level simulation is purely functional simulation to assert correctness of signal values. One can customize this 
package to take into account special technology, design style, or architecture. One can also customize this package 
to produce variety of reports. For example, one may deploy this package to calculate exact cross-talk based on actual 
transitions, or make sure that timing window assumptions made for cross-talk analysis were realistic, or to derive 
cross-talk vulnerability, or to derive power dissipation numbers based on signal switching, etc.
