Claim:
1. A method of analyzing an electronic circuit enabling to determine optimal operating configurations of the electronic circuit according to a given performance criterion, each operating configuration of the electronic circuit being defined by values taken by first, second, and third operating parameters, the first parameter being capable of taking first discrete values, the second and third parameters being capable of continuously or discretely varying, the second parameter being capable of varying between a minimum value and a maximum value, each pair of a first value of the first parameter and of a second value of the second parameter having an associated third limiting value of the third parameter beyond which the circuit may no longer operate, the method comprising the steps of: a) determining, for each value of the first parameter, a limiting variation range of the third parameter by varying the second parameter between the minimum and maximum values of this second parameter and by searching the third corresponding limiting values of the third parameter; and b) determining, for each value of the first parameter, an optimal variation range of the third parameter corresponding to all or part of said limiting variation range of the third parameter previously determined for the value of the first considered parameter, so that the optimal variation ranges selected for the different values of the first parameter are all different.
