Discrete device modeling

A method for modeling a discrete device as a macro device, comprising:

• receiving one or more specified parameters associated with a discrete device to be modeled;
• obtaining a set of RC values from an RC data structure based upon the one or more specified parameters, the set of RC values corresponding to one or more parasitic elements for the discrete device;
• modeling the discrete device as a macro device based upon the set of RC values, the macro device corresponding to the discrete device and the one or more parasitic elements for the discrete device;
• and
• utilizing the macro device during pre-simulation of a circuit comprising the discrete device to take into account the one or more parasitic elements of the discrete device, at least some of at least one of the receiving, the obtaining, the modeling, or the utilizing implemented at least in part via a processing unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed perform a method for modeling a discrete device as a macro device, comprising:

• receiving one or more specified parameters associated with a discrete device to be modeled;
• obtaining a set of parasitic RC values from an RC data structure based upon the one or more specified parameters, the set of parasitic RC values corresponding to one or more parasitic elements for the discrete device;
• creating a netlist based upon the set of parasitic RC values, the netlist comprising a description of the discrete device and the one or more parasitic elements for the discrete device;
• modeling the discrete device as a macro device based upon the netlist, the macro device corresponding to the discrete device and the one or more parasitic elements for the discrete device;
• and
• utilizing the macro device during pre-simulation of a circuit comprising the discrete device to take into account the one or more parasitic elements of the discrete device.
