Abstract

A TASSE II (Timing and Strength Simulation Engine II) capable of simulating system-level logic circuits including memories and CPUs is presented. TASSE II processing units have been implemented on an extension board in a personal computer, and external logic models have been implemented on a separated board (20 cm×30 cm). The supporting software provides an integrated environment for logic simulation, and performs the circuit model conversion in a short time. Simulation results can be observed on a cathode ray tube (CRT) display in real time. TASSE II makes it possible to design digital systems in a short turnaround-time in an interactive simulation environment
