Abstract
A method and system for visualizing circuit operation. In the method device activity is obtained based on one or more of measured or simulated activity. The device activity is expressed in a representation, and the expressed activity is represented in a visual form. One suitable form of activity is the simulated version of the PICA slow motion movie. The invention may apply to other simulated design data vies as well, such as switch level simulation, current density simulation, and power density simulation.
