Analog Regression Testing

Analog regression testing is an essential part of analog design verification. Regression test are used to validate analog behavioral models. They also make sure that a previouslytested analog block still performs as expected after a change. Once analog regression tests have been set up, they can also facilitate other tasks:…

Analog Waveform Comparisons

The algorithms used for analog waveform comparisons can be straightforward. You can simply traverse all curves in a file and find the matching curve in a reference file. Now compute the difference between 2 curves and integrate the result to obtain the absolute error. Dividing this by the norm of…

FSDB Files

Many digital or analog simlators generate FSDB files. FSDB stands for “Fast Signal Data Base”. NOVAS developed this file format to replace VCD (value change dump) files. After a number of acquisitions Synopsys Inc owns FSDB. FSDB files are binary and they make use of data compression. As a consequence…
