CustomSim Circuit Check
CustomSim Circuit Check (CCK) helps users to avoid wasted simulation time by finding design and performance problems automatically, reporting potential problems in a circuit before running simulation. Circuit Check increases verification coverage and discovers potential trouble spots that simulation misses.
Design and Electrical Rule Checks
CCK finds hookup and bias errors before simulation:
- Floating MOSFET gates
- Forward-biased diodes, bulk nodes
- No path to Vdd or GND
- Shorted nodes: PMOS to GND, NMOS to Vdd
During simulation, CCK monitors:
- Min/max voltages between nodes
- Excessive element currents
- Forward-bias conditions
Digital Logic/Memory Diagnostics
CCK prevents time-consuming debug problems:
- Identifies un-initialized latches before transient simulation
- Finds stuck-at nodes
- Reports excessive stack-up of NMOS, PMOS devices
CCK traces logic paths:
- Interactive debug mode
- Finds the source of state changes
Timing Checks
CCK performs static transistor-level timing analysis:
- Computes Elmore delays
- Measures rising paths to Vdd, falling paths to GND
Dynamic timing analysis:
- CCK traces all path delays between source and target nodes
Signal Integrity
CCK static crosstalk analysis:
- Measures delay paths connected to floating parasitic capacitors
- Calculates potential noise glitch
- Identifies fast falling paths and slow rising paths
Low-Power Design and Leakage Detection
Find DC leakage:
- Static check reports any path leaking current between voltage sources
Monitor standby current during simulation:
- Detects potential leakage paths from multiple power supply domains
- Identifies high-Z nodes, tests for leakage to GND/Vdd
