Description: Gate-level simulation is a method that models the behavior of a digital circuit through its fundamental logic gates, such as AND, OR, NOT, and others. This type of simulation allows circuit designers to verify the operation and logic of their designs before physical implementation in hardware. Unlike behavioral-level simulation, which focuses on the overall functionality of the system, gate-level simulation provides a more detailed analysis, allowing observation of how signals propagate through different gates and how outputs are produced based on inputs. This approach is crucial in the design of integrated circuits and digital systems, as it helps identify errors and optimize circuit performance. Gate-level simulation is also essential for timing verification, ensuring that signals reach their destination within established time limits. In the context of digital design, this simulation is particularly relevant, as it allows engineers to validate their designs before implementation, ensuring that the circuit will function as expected once built.
