As the world of technology continues to evolve, the way we design and verify circuits is also evolving. The next-generation automotive, imaging, IoT, 5G, computing, and storage markets are driving the strong demand for increasing mixed-signal content in modern System-on-Chips (SoCs). Mixed-signal designs are a combination of tightly interwoven analog and digital circuitry. There are two main reasons for increased mixed-signal contents in today's SoC.
Firstly, machines today are consuming more and more real-world analog information, such as light, touch, sound, vibration, pressure, or temperature, and bringing it into the digital world for processing. Secondly, technology scaling is enabling integration of more functionality, increased
