Abstract

A lumped aggressor model is used to simulate multiple aggressor nets acting on a victim net. By lumping the aggressor nets together into a single input port, a single voltage excitation may be applied to the input port to simulate the model during static timing analysis. However, a record of each individual aggressor net and several associated attributes for each aggressor net is maintained such that the individual lumped aggressor nets may still be modeled as separate contributions to the attack on the victim net.
