Abstract
A system, method, computer program and article of manufacture for channel analysis. Channel analysis is a multi gigahertz capacity time domain circuit simulation which uses the impulse response of the channel to determine optimum filter settings and to produce wave form plots in a fraction of the time of circuit simulation.
Claims31
A method for simulating a circuit comprising:
- using a computer system, characterizing one or more channels, each channel being a dedicated path through which a node is driven by a single driver, wherein the characterizing one or more channels comprises deriving a response of the one or more channels in a time domain;
- determining optimum filter settings;
- and displaying or storing in a computer-usable medium the optimum filter settings.
A system for simulating a circuit comprising:
- a processor;
- means for characterizing one or more channels, each channel being a dedicated path through which a node is driven by a single driver, wherein the characterizing one or more channels comprises deriving a response of the one or more channels in a time domain;
- and
- means for determining optimum filter settings.
A computer program product embodied on computer readable storage medium, the computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to execute a method for simulating a circuit, the method comprising:
- characterizing one or more channels, each channel being a dedicated path through which a node is driven by a single driver, wherein the characterizing one or more channels comprises deriving a response of the one or more channels in a time domain;
- and
- determining optimum filter settings.
