  • Method and system for identifying inaccurate models
    Patent number: 6996513
    Abstract: A method and system for identifying an inaccurate model of a hardware circuit includes the steps of simulating a digital model and an analogue model of the circuit to provide first and second sets of simulation results respectively. For each result in the first and second sets of simulation an integer value is determined which represents that result. The integer values are stored in first and second sets of comparison results respectively and the sets of comparison results are compared. An output signal indicating that at least one of the models is inaccurate is produced if the comparison results contradict.
