A circuit-characterization system includes a computer. The computer uses a model of an operation of the circuit to characterize first and second constraints of the circuit and to select values for the first and second constraints, respectively. The computer modifies the values selected for the first and second constraints to obtain optimized values for the first and second constraints. The optimized values of the first and second constraints avoid an invalid region of operation of the circuit.
