Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment of the invention, a method of analyzing a circuit design is disclosed. In the method of analyzing a circuit design, a circuit is levelized into multiple levels. Circuit simulations of elements at a level are determined using circuit simulators, one for each element and in parallel in level order. Topological circuit loops may be removed from the circuit. Circuit simulation of the circuit may be performed on the circuit using the circuit simulations determined by the circuit simulators at each level of the circuit.
