Abstract
A method for performing an analysis of at least one logic stage in a netlist, which include one or more drivers, is provided. The method includes operations of generating at least one look-up table for an output transient current to be based on values of input and output voltages using data available from a cell library; synthesizing analytically at least one current source model, which includes a DC component and a plurality of parasitic capacitances, using the look-up table; simulating the logic stage using the current source model to model the drivers; and obtaining characteristics of the simulated logic stage. A system and a machine-readable medium for performing the method are also provided.
