  • Method and device of analyzing crosstalk effects in an electronic device
    Patent number: 7469391
    Abstract: For analyzing the effects of crosstalk in an electronic device, a model description of the electronic device is provided which defines a victim net and at least one aggressor net, the model description allowing for simulating the dynamic response behaviour at an output of the victim net with respect to an input signal of the victim net and/or of the at least one aggressor net. A characteristic property of the response behaviour at the output of the victim net is represented as an output function of the simulation, the value of the output function depending on input parameters of the simulation. The output function is evaluated as to find an extremum of the output function in a preset range of the input parameters.

  • Method and device for determining the time response of a digital circuit
    Patent number: 7437696
    Abstract: A method and a device determine a time response of a digital circuit. The time response is determined as a time difference between a data delay of a data path of the digital circuit, and a clock delay of a clock signal, which causes storage of a data item on the data path, taking into account a check. The check is determined dependent on a data slew of a signal on the data path and a clock slew of the clock signal in such a way that a positive time difference ensures the correct saving of the data item.
