  • Method and apparatus for providing a graphical user interface for simulating designs with analog and mixed signals
    Patent number: 6266630
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a graphical user interface for simulating designs with mixed signals is described. The present invention provides graphical information to a circuit designer as to the solution of the equation(s) that describe or model the design. The graphical information allows the designer to see convergence and convergence rates of the analog circuit simulation. By providing the designer with information related to the convergence of solutions for the modeling equations, the designer is better able to debug the design because he or she can view the timing and situations related to convergence and divergence.
