Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for generating S-parameters. In some embodiments, the methods and systems comprise creating (e.g., extracting, calculating, generating), in part or whole into the development environment, S-parameters of the given netlist, which may be represented in part or whole by S-parameters. This is useful in data abstraction, topology complexity reduction, or data hiding. Some embodiments provide convenient and automated approaches for what is normally a complicated and laborious process. Some embodiments provide the ability to generate S-parameters for the specified part or whole topology netlist. Ports can be specified at any node in the topology. Non-linear devices, e.g., IBIS buffers, diodes, non-linear terminations, can be automatically excluded from generated S-parameter model. Additionally, adding the device package models is an available option. Once generated, S-parameter models can be automatically replaced by the original part or whole topology with a Black Box and the original connections are maintained.
