Modeling Tips and Tricks

Date

Previously Held on May 18th, 2017

This one hour webinar focuses on creating high-level models, both from the IC developer and system-level designer's point of view. Techniques for defining block re-usability and parameterization as well as designing models which simulate fast and succeed at the Periodic Operating Point (POP) analysis are covered. Finally, methods for backing up models and taking "snapshots" of models as they are developed are covered.
