Abstract:
1. Apparatus for implementing multiple configurations of multiple input/output (IO) subsystems in a single simulation model comprising: at least one simulation, configurable bus routing switch included in the single simulation model; said at least one bus routing switch including a plurality of ports respectively connected to a plurality of IO busses; said plurality of IO busses including remote input output (RIO) busses; predefined ones of said plurality of IO busses being connected to the multiple input/output (IO) subsystems in the single simulation model; said at least one bus routing switch being selectively configurable for interconnecting predetermined ones of said plurality of ports in the single simulation model; and said simulation, configurable bus routing switch including a variable depth latch structure to simulate the effect of long wires; said variable depth latch structure including a plurality of latches connected in series between a data input and a respective input of a multiplexer; a latch clock signal applied to each of said plurality of latches; and select inputs applied to said multiplexer for providing a multiplexer data output of one selected input.
