Title
An analysis of ternary simulation as a tool for race detection in digital MOS circuits
Abstract
Recently, Bryant developed a new switch level model for the functional simulation of race-free digital MOS circuits. The model establishes a formal correspondence to classical circuit theory. Thus the correctness of any simulation algorithm w.r.t. this model is a strong justification for using the algorithm. In [4,12] correct and efficient algorithms have been reported for simulating circuits that do not have internal race conditions. In [1] Bryant suggests to use ‘ternary’ simulation for detecting race conditions in MOS circuits. He justifies his simulation method with a couple of example circuits; however, he does not extend the simulation model to cover circuits that have internal races.
