    摘要: Techniques for efficiently determining whether an interconnect line has an impedance component value below a maximum specified value. A specified maximum impedance component value is used to limit the number of interconnect lines that are analyzed by a parasitic extraction analysis process. An analysis window is created based upon the characteristics of the interconnect lines and the specified maximum impedance component value. The size of the window corresponds to the minimum length of the interconnect line that would have the specified maximum impedance component value. Once the analysis window has been created, the interconnect lines are examined to determine if any of them reaches to (or beyond) the analysis window, whereby interconnect lines that exceed the specified maximum impedance component value can be identified. If there are any remaining interconnect lines that have not been determined to exceed the specified maximum impedance component value through the use of the analysis window, then the impedance component values of these remaining interconnect lines can be specifically determined using a parasitic extraction process.

    摘要: A method of verifying test data for testing an integrated circuit device having multiple device time domains includes selecting a virtual tester time domain and, if the cycle duration of the virtual tester time domain is equal to the cycle duration of one of the multiple device time domains, translating the test data for each device time domain other than that one time domain to the virtual tester time domain and otherwise translating the test data for each device time domain to the virtual tester time domain. The translated test data is then applied to a device logic simulator that simulates integrated circuit device.

    摘要: Configuration templates reflect configuration information described in hierarchical circuit design data. The object configure information will include both template generic configuration information and instance specific configuration information. The template generic configuration information is configuration information that is common to all instantiations of a corresponding cell in the hierarchical circuit design data. The instance specific configuration information is then configuration information that is particular to one or more specific instantiations of the corresponding cell in the hierarchical circuit design data. After the object configuration templates have been generated, a configuration information analysis unit uses the object configuration information contained in the object configuration templates to identify objects having configuration data that match defined configuration criteria.

    摘要: A GUI-based API for a test system provides a user-friendly interface for generating API function calls in one of several different programming languages, as selected by the user. The GUI-based API prompts the user to select from a list of valid API functions, which are generated based on the test system configuration. The values for the selected API function parameters are then specified by selecting from a valid list of choices or by entering an arbitrary value. The valid list of choices presented to the user for selection is generated based on the test system configuration and on the prior parameter values specified by the user. For API functions including parameters that have a main parameter and optional parameters, input interfaces for specifying the values for the optional parameters are also presented to the user. Every parameter of the selected API function is processed, so that when the last parameter is processed, an appropriate end of function signature is automatically inserted.

    摘要: A virtual tester, for testing a device logic simulator, includes multiple virtual instruments that generate stimulus messages for delivery to the device logic simulator and for receiving response messages generated by the device logic simulator. Each virtual instrument models a corresponding hardware test instrument and comprises a concrete instrument model that behaves in a manner corresponding to the corresponding hardware test instrument and also comprises an abstract interface that is independent of the behavior of the corresponding hardware test instrument. At least one virtual instrument generates sync messages for coordinating operation of the virtual instruments. A virtual tester engine receives the sync messages and executes an algorithm in which the virtual tester engine cyclically identifies sync messages that pertain to a current operating cycle, communicates sync messages to each virtual instrument, validates sync messages based on responses by the virtual instruments to the sync messages and communicates the validated sync messages to each virtual instrument. A virtual instrument that is specified by a validated sync message performs a test activity based on the validated sync message and a user test program.
