System, method, and computer program product for generating bidirectional real number models in an electronic design

A computer-readable storage medium for simulating a mixed-signal circuit design having a discrete circuit segment connected to a continuous circuit segment at a connection point, the computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that when executed by a machine result in one or more operations, the operations comprising:

• inserting a bidirectional interface element at the connection point located between the discrete circuit segment associated with a digital net and the continuous circuit segment associated with an analog net;
• splitting the discrete circuit segment into a plurality of transistor network models to provide for bi-directional transfer of data between the continuous circuit segment and the discrete circuit segment, wherein at least one of the plurality of transistor network models utilizes only one or more drivers external to a SystemVerilog module;
• and
• ignoring one or more drivers that are internal to the SystemVerilog module.
