ABSTRACT:
A method for analyzing an electrical characteristic of wire segments configured as one or more power meshes in an integrated circuit (IC) core comprising the steps of (A) specifying design information corresponding to the power meshes, (B) specifying at least one type of analysis to be performed, where the analysis comprises (i) generating a file corresponding to the IC core in a format compatible with an electronic circuit simulator and (ii) calculating the electrical characteristic of the wire segments via the circuit simulator, and (C) displaying the calculated electrical characteristic.
