Title: On-the-fly computation of analog mixed-signal (AMS) measurements

Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to an analog mixed-signal (AMS) design verification system. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a system and method for system verification. One example method includes: obtaining an electronic representation of the circuit design; generating at least a portion of a waveform using the electronic representation of the circuit to obtain a first segment of the waveform associated with the circuit; converting, via the one or more processors, one or more measurement functions to code for performing the one or more computations on the first segment of the waveform; performing one or more computations on the first segment of the waveform using the code; and identifying when a behavior of the circuit violates a design specification based on whether a result of the one or more computations meets a threshold.
