Abstract

An extension to a simulator (801) that allows the user to specify real numbers, voltages, and currents (808) on ports of an electrical net is presented. The computer using the analog wire functionality routines (805), the routines for determining nets (804), the net manager (803), and the pin manager (802) resolves unspecified values on said electrical nets. The user may specify at least one value on said port and may specify whether said port is driven. The extension includes additional math functions (1901).
