After exiting a simulation, AMS Designer displays the mixed-signal activity statistics along with the additional activity statistics of the Interface Elements (IEs) for the simulation run.
Example:
**** AMSD: Mixed-Signal Activity Statistics ****
Number of A-to-D events: 857
Number of A-to-D events in IEs: 857
Number of D-to-A events: 138
Number of D-to-A events in IEs: 138
Number of VHDL-AMS Breaks: 0
Number of direct digital accesses: 56
**** AMSD: IE Additional Activity Statistics ****Number of IEs with D-to-A X event: 3 Number of IEs with D-to-A Z event: 0 Number of IEs with A-to-D X event: 0 Number of IEs with A-to-D Z event: 0 Number of IEs with Vin exceeded limit: 4Number of IEs with Vdd exceeded limit: 0 IE with max number of D-to-A conversions: 120 PLL_160MHZ_sim.CLK_160MHZ__L2E_2__logic IE with max number of A-to-D conversions: 354 PLL_160MHZ_sim.I3.VCO_CLK__E2L_2__logicNumber of reporting IEs / total IEs: 8/8Number of IEs with Vin/Vdd limit checked: 8
