Abstract

A new logic simulator called THEMISTM Logic Simulator for the design of LSI, VLSI and PCBs is described. THEMIS supports design verification and test development from initial specification in behavioral and RTL languages to analysis of the final layout at the gate and switch level. To allow the simulation of an entire system or check the correctness of a single circuit, the different modeling techniques can be easily intermixed. THEMIS is a highly interactive simulator that minimizes a hardware engineer's time and effort to debug logic. This paper gives an overview of THEMIS and its use by design engineers.
