Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided including instantiating an object of an analog information model object class definition defining a net interface to a net defined in a simulated digital circuit, and a plurality of analog circuit properties. The method includes connecting the net interface of the data structure to a first net defined in a digital circuit simulation and identifying all other instances of the AIM object class definition connected to the first net defined in the digital circuit simulation of a simulated digital circuit and determining an analog voltage at and current through the first net based on the analog circuit properties of all instances connected to the first net.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising an analog information model (AIM) object class definition, the class definition comprising:
- an instance data structure defining:
- a net interface to a net defined in a simulated digital circuit, and
- a plurality of analog circuit properties;
- one or more methods comprising instructions that when executed on a computer processor:
- identify all AIM instances connected to a first net defined in the simulated digital circuit, and
- determine an analog voltage at and current through the first net based on the analog circuit properties of all the identified AIM instances connected to the first net.
