PSEUDO-INVERTER CONFIGURATION FOR SIGNAL ELECTROMIGRATION ANALYSIS

A method for determining a signal electromigration effect in a circuit includes obtaining a partition netlist from a partition of an integrated circuit netlist and identifying a complementary netlist that couples a second input with the output is provided. The complementary netlist is logically independent from the reference netlist. The method includes modifying the partition netlist to couple the reference netlist and the complementary netlist in an inverting configuration, and providing an electromagnetic pulse to at least one of the first input or the second input to induce a current through one of the plurality of circuit components. The method also includes determining an electromigration effect from the current on the one of the plurality of circuit components.
