Circuit simulation with rule check for device
In some embodiments, in a method, a netlist is received. The netlist comprises a subcircuit that comprises a device and a rule check module. The rule check module specifies a plurality of terminals of the device subject to an operating space, and at least one parameter that controls a non-rectangular boundary of the operating space. The netlist is simulated to obtain simulation data associated with the terminals of the device. The operating space that has the non-rectangular boundary is formed by using the at least one parameter. The simulation data is checked against the operating space. A situation in which the checked simulation data does not fall within the operating space is reflected.
