Abstract
The present invention is directed to reducing errors due to floating values introduced during tristate and contention when modeling a register in RTL. In one embodiment, the floating values are replaced by predetermined desired values corresponding to the floating values which are both stored in a lookup table. In another embodiment, when a floating value is detected, that value is ignored and the previous clock value is retained.
