Abstract
Understanding different categories of simulation tools and how they fit into a design methodology can be very confusing. This chapter elaborates on three basic 1C design methodologies: bottom-up design, top-down design, and hierarchical design; it discusses how the simulation tools can be used with respect to each of these methodologies. The chapter concludes with a suggested analog behavioral modeling methodology for functional blocks in an IC system.
