Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a first digital function module is created that represents a first analog circuit and a second digital function module is created that represents a second analog circuit. A first value representing a first analog signal is transmitted from the first digital function module to the second digital function module while concurrently or substantially currently, the second digital function module transmits a second value representing a second analog signal to the first digital function module. In a particular embodiment, the first digital function module is a current signal related to an output of the first analog circuit and the second analog signal from the second digital function module is a voltage signal related to an output of the second analog circuit. The values may be transmitted along a bidirectional analog data bus capable of communicating real floating point numbers.

Abstract: A method of making a phase lock loop circuit is disclosed. The method includes a method of simulating the phase lock loop circuit. The simulation runs on a system for making phase lock loop circuits. The simulation step initializes a reference frequency variable associated with a reference frequency of a phase lock loop circuit. The simulation method also initializes a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) frequency variable associated with a VCO frequency of the phase lock loop circuit. A phase error is obtained from a frequency error between the reference frequency variable and the VCO frequency variable. The simulation method resets the phase error by a reset phase level when the phase error is approximately the same as a multiple of a reset threshold. When the frequency error changes sign, the phase error is permitted to also change sign. The simulation also determines a loop filter input for the phase lock loop circuit that depends upon the phase error and the frequency error.
