Abstract: A method and system for performing analog and RF simulation is disclosed that balances the need for accuracy with the desire for increased simulation speed by using two different circuit descriptions, one description is used during the simulation where needed for accuracy and the other circuit description is used where needed to speed the simulation. For example, one circuit description may include parasitic information and is used where necessary to maintain accuracy and, whereas a reduced circuit description (with at least some parasitic information removed) can be used to enhance speed. This combined solution that uses two different, but related, circuit descriptions has substantially increased the speed of simulation with minimal sacrifice of accuracy.

Abstract: A simulation environment is disclosed wherein both analog and RF signals are simulated in a single flow by a mixed-domain simulator. The simulator includes a simulator kernel with an analog solver and an RF solver to allow both analog- and RF-type of signals to be solved in an interrelated fashion. The simulator may also include a partitioner that divides the circuit into various RF and analog modules to be solved. User input may control the partitioning process, but the simulator may refine the partitions or generate sub-partitions to provide a higher probability of convergence.
