Abstract
A method for modeling a mixed-language and mixed-signal (MLMS) design is disclosed. The method includes receiving an MLMS design comprising at least a digital driver, a digital receiver, and an analog block connected by an MLMS net in a hierarchical structure and identifying analog-digital boundaries of the MLMS design. For each analog-digital boundary, the method further includes a) selecting a connect module (CM) by using a predetermined discipline resolution procedure; b) determining input driving values of the CM; and c) connecting the digital driver, the digital receiver, and the analog block to the CM. The method repeats steps a), b), and c) on all analog-digital boundaries of the MLMS design.
