Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for simulating an analog and mixed-signal circuit design having a digital circuit segment connected to an analog circuit segment at a connection point. The method may include inserting a bidirectional interface element at the connection point located between the digital circuit segment and the analog circuit segment. The method may further include splitting the digital circuit segment into a plurality of transistor network models to provide for bidirectional transfer of data between the analog circuit segment and the digital circuit segment.
