Conclusion
Automatic Parameter Extraction (APX) method enables a
fully automatic modelling of the RF and Analog blocks of an
SoC and combines the model with digital sections to get full
system verification also it assisted HDL verification saves up
to 1900x times for top level verification compared to the
transistor level verification.
