simulating a load of the anti-resonance circuit;
simulating using a simulated transistor model, at least one high frequency capacitance of the anti-resonance circuit in parallel with the simulated load; and
simulating using a simulated capacitor model, an intrinsic capacitance of the section of the microprocessor in parallel with the simulated load.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the load is simulated with a simulated resistor.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the simulated resistor is a simulated voltage controlled resistor.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein simulation of the anti-resonance circuit is synchronized with a simulated clock cycle.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein simulation of the anti-resonance circuit begins on a leading edge of the simulated clock cycle.
