Abstract

A system and method for analyzing timing and noise effects in a hybrid circuit which contains a plurality of electrical components. The timing and noise effects for the hybrid circuit are generated by simulating electrical conditions within a hybrid circuit model. The hybrid circuit model is constructed by creating and integrating analog and behavioral models from the plurality of electrical components. The timing and noise effects remain accurate even at high printed circuit board/multi-chip module clock speeds, thereby ensuring that a user is able to construct an optimal design for any one of the plurality of electrical components.
