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.
