METHODS AND APPARATUS TO SIMULATE METASTABILITY FOR CIRCUIT DESIGN VERIFICATION

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to simulate metastability for circuit design verification. An example apparatus includes an input handler to receive circuit design data indicative of a circuit design, a circuit modeler to generate a simulation model based on the circuit design data, a simulator to simulate operation of the circuit design based on the simulation model, a metastability injector to insert metastability logic into the simulation model during the simulation, and a metastability controller to control the metastability logic during the simulation.
