Abstract :
High operation frequency and strict timing behavior are characteristics of modern high performance integrated circuits, which require a digital system simulator to accurately simulate not only the logic function but also the timing behavior of a circuit. This paper presents some experimental results by SPICE to validate the analytical approach of Boolean process, and extract some data for a numerical waveform simulation. The paper also presents a waveform simulator and its results of experiments, which is very different from traditional logic simulator
