ABSTRACT:
A method of simulating an analog mixed-signal circuit design using mixed-language descriptions includes initializing a mixed language simulation cycle, processing digital events during delta cycles at a current simulation time of the cycle, and, after the digital events are processed, determining an analog solution at the current simulation time.
