ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for analyzing signal timing requirements in complex electronic systems. The invention accepts from the user a set of specifications that express timing constraints, and generates therefrom a set of self-consistent "dependences" that relate signal locations to one another in terms of the minimum or maximum time that must elapse between such locations. The invention also generates signal pattern information that establishes the states of the various signals involved at different relevant times, and can be used to produce a signal profile.
