Abstract
A system and method generates test patterns for simulating a circuit design. Generating the test patterns includes determining clock data of the circuit design. The clock data is determined by determining a first clock signal pair from clock signals, and determining a disturb cell based on the first clock signal pair. The disturb cell is electrically coupled to a first clock signal of the first clock signal pair, and to a second cell. The second cell is electrically coupled to a second clock signal of the first clock signal pair, and an input of the second cell is electrically coupled to an output of the disturb cell. A first test pattern is generated based on the clock data and is output to a memory to be used in simulating a circuit design.
