For analyzing the effects of crosstalk in an electronic device, a model
description of the electronic device is provided which defines a victim
net and at least one aggressor net, the model description allowing for
simulating the dynamic response behaviour at an output of the victim net
with respect to an input signal of the victim net and/or of the at least
one aggressor net. A characteristic property of the response behaviour at
the output of the victim net is represented as an output function of the
simulation, the value of the output function depending on input
parameters of the simulation. The output function is evaluated as to find
an extremum of the output function in a preset range of the input
parameters. The characteristic property may in particular be a measure of
the delay of the output signal of the victim net with respect to the
input signal of the victim net, the input parameters corresponding to the
timing of a signal transition applied to the input of the at least one
aggressor net with respect to the timing of a signal transition applied
to the input of the victim net.
