Abstract
A system, method and software product determine detail of analysis in a circuit design. Pull-up driver transistors of at least one stage of the circuit design are identified. Pull-down driver transistors of the stage are identified. Configuration commands associated with control signals of the pull-up and pull-down driver transistors are processed to determine if the pull-up driver transistors and pull-down driver transistors are tied on or tied off. A determination is made whether the stage has drive fight and switching current. A detailed analysis is performed of the stage of the stage has drive fight or switching current.
