    Abstract: Electronic design automation systems, methods, and computer readable media are presented for the generation of power-related connectivity data by an analog simulator (for example, by propagating the power supply data and/or ground data through the circuit components of the analog design schematic). In some embodiments, the verification module determines consistency between different versions of power-related connectivity data, such as: (i) power-related connectivity data from the analog design schematic and (ii) power-related connectivity data from the power-related data characterizing the mixed-signal design. Such verification determines whether the mixed-signal design satisfies the low power specification as expressed in the power-related data characterizing the mixed-signal design.
