System and method for simulating channels using true strobe timing

Embodiments included herein may be used for characterizing and analyzing an electronic system design including a parallel interface. Embodiments may include identifying an electronic design including a design of a parallel interface. Embodiments may also include determining a single circuit representation including the design of the parallel interface from the electronic design. Embodiments may further include analyzing the single circuit representation at a channel analysis module stored at least partially in memory and functioning in tandem with a computing system to determine waveform responses of the parallel interface and a remainder of the single circuit representation by using channel analysis techniques. The channel analysis techniques may be based upon a data channel simulation and a strobe channel simulation. Embodiments may also include generating or modifying the electronic design including the design of the parallel interface based in part or in whole upon results of analyzing the single circuit representation.
