  • Patent number: 9542512
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for maintaining alignment of timing signals of a source synchronous interface between driver and receiver portions of an electronic system in a behavioral model based simulation environment. The system comprises a memory unit, an analysis controller unit coupled to the memory unit, and a timing alignment unit coupled to the analysis controller unit. The timing alignment unit is executable responsive to the analysis controller unit to generate behavioral models for mutually assigned first and second nets which transmit respective timing signals between the driver and receiver portions, and actuates transient simulation on the behavioral models to simulate transmission of the timing signals through the first and second nets. A timing skew between respective transmissions of the timing signals through the first and second nets is measured responsive to the simulated transmission for compensation during a general simulation of the source synchronous interface.

  • Patent number: 8484605
    Abstract: A model library contains one or more storable models of a physical system each constructed by numerically solving relationships between a characteristic of the physical system given a set of model parameters. Such a model may be retrieved from the library according to values assigned to the model parameters and used to determine a corresponding characteristic of the physical system without repeating the numerical solution method originally used to create the model. Instead, a mapping may be applied to the storable model to seamlessly obtain the characteristic upon request.
