Why Modular Spice Why Modular Spice Simulation Strategy ?Simulation Strategy ?

• Due to the large no. of edge cases, this Due to the large no. of edge cases, this simulation strategy gives us greater accuracy simulation strategy gives us greater accuracy than a single global vector set wouldthan a single global vector set would

• Testing time for global testing is unfeasible Testing time for global testing is unfeasible because it takes on the order of 150 clock because it takes on the order of 150 clock cycles to cause some outputs to change cycles to cause some outputs to change

• This is quicker and allows us to better focus This is quicker and allows us to better focus our energiesour energies
