ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for simulating, in an engineering workstation (EW) environment, the operation of circuits or systems having analog and digital portions. Information concerning the system or circuit is acquired with input devices such as a keyboard or mouse with the aid of a display and schematic capture programs. An analog simulator and a digital simulator are present in the EW. A first data extraction program extracts selected analog data from the analog simulator. A first conversion program converts the selected analog data into digital values. A first data insertion program provides the digital values as input (forcing functions) to the digital simulator. A second data extraction program extracts selected digital analysis data from the digital simulator. A second conversion program converts the selected digital data to analog data. A second data insertion program supplies the analog data as input to the analog simulator. Selected portions of the analysis produced by either of the simulators may be presented on the display or a hard copy made by a printer.
