Test benches, simulations, and scripts are invoked in parallel for testing
multiple points in a circuit being synthesized in an Analog Mixed Signal
environment. A simulation system for simultaneously optimizing
performance characteristics in circuit synthesis uses a set of design
parameters. At least one circuit model is used to incorporate the set of
design parameters, each circuit model adapted to model a portion of the
circuit pertaining to a performance characteristic. At least one analysis
test bench is then connected to each circuit model. Each analysis test
bench is adapted to model circuitry external to the circuit and control
the type of analysis to be performed for each performance characteristic
of the circuit.
