Term: Digital IPs
Definition: Pre-designed cores that implement core functionalities of a System on Chip (SoC), primarily designed using hardware description languages.
Term: Analog IPs
Definition: Cores that handle continuous signals, necessary for functions like signal conversion and power management in SoCs.
Term: MixedSignal Simulation
Definition: A simulation technique that verifies the interaction between analog and digital components within SoC designs.
Term: Signal Integrity
Definition: The assurance that signals maintain their intended quality and characteristics as they propagate through circuits, critical in mixed-signal designs.
