Timing, Logic and Mixed-Mode Simulation for Large MOS Integrated Circuits

Abstract

Many different forms of simulation can be used for the analysis of large digital integrated circuit designs at the various stages of the design process. They may be classified as Behavioral (also called algorithmic or functional) simulators, Register Transfer Level (RTL) simulators, Gate Level Logic simulators, timing simulators, and circuit simulators, as illustrated in Fig.1.1.
