Abstract
A mode register is created during the design of a complex, multi-mode electronic circuit. The mode register may contain connections to various switches, clocks, multiplexers, or other portions of the circuit that may have settings necessary to operate the circuit in different modes. The mode register may be used during circuit simulation by setting the mode register to a certain setting when running a static timing analysis script or other type of circuit simulation. After the circuit design is completed and before manufacturing the circuit, the mode register is disabled or removed from the circuit.
