Abstract:
In one embodiment of the invention, a method of simulating a circuit is disclosed including partitioning a circuit into a plurality of blocks, each of the plurality of blocks being radio-frequency blocks or non-radio frequency blocks; performing a first simulation of a first simulation type with the radio-frequency blocks to generate output waveforms of the radio-frequency blocks; performing a second simulation of a second simulation type with the non-radio-frequency blocks to generate output waveforms of the non-radio-frequency blocks where the second simulation type differs from the first simulation type; and synchronizing the first simulation and the second simulation together at one or more time steps to generate output waveforms for the circuit.
