METHOD FOR THE OPTIMIZED DESIGN OF ELECTRONIC INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for characterizing an electronic system to be included in an electronic integrated circuit, wherein the method comprises the steps of: recovering respective digital simulation models (50B, 50C) of first and second blocks; recovering a digital simulation model of the system (50A) including said first and second blocks; applying, to the digital simulation model of the system (50A), various concurrent performance metric values of the blocks, which belong to various validity domains, so as to generate performance metric values of the system; generating a function representative of a Pareto frontier and defining a second of said output performance metrics of the system on the basis of a first of said output metrics of the system; and generating a function defining performance metric values of the blocks on the basis of the output metric of the system.
