A system and method to analyze analog, mixed-signal, and custom digital circuits. The system and method displays to a user characteristic values of a circuit and statistical uncertainty values of the characteristic values early in a sampling or characterization run of the circuit. The characteristic values and their statistical uncertainties are updated as the sampling or characterization run progresses. The user can halt the sampling or characterization run once a desired level of uncertainty is attained. The system can automatically halt the sampling or characterization run, once the statistical uncertainty lie within a pre-determined range.

On-the-fly improvement of certainty of statistical estimates in statistical design, with corresponding visual feedback

For application to analog, mixed-signal, and custom digital circuits, a system and method to improve the flow of setting up a set of simulations, a characterization, or optimization problem via an interactive circuit schematic. A system and method to visualize circuit simulation data in which at least one of the views is an enhanced, interactive schematic view.

Interactive schematic for use in analog, mixed-signal, and custom digital circuit design

A system and method of generating a set of circuit simulation data, applying data mining to for knowledge extraction from the data, and graphically presenting the extracted knowledge in a format that is easy to digest to a designer.

Data-mining-based knowledge extraction and visualization of analog/mixed-signal/custom digital circuit design flow

A system that includes a candidate generator that generates candidate vectors having as components performance specifications of an electrical circuit design. The system also includes a performance estimator that generates performance vectors of the electrical circuit design, the performance vectors having as components performance values of the electrical circuit design. The candidate vectors and the performance vectors are input into a statistical estimator that calculates a statistical parameter, for example, yield, for each candidate vector in accordance with the performance vectors. The system further includes a filter that receives the candidate vectors and their respective statistical parameters, and outputs a filtered candidate vector with its corresponding filtered statistical parameter. A display system visually represents the filtered candidate vector and its corresponding filtered statistical parameter.
