1. A method of checking an integrated circuit network design comprising the steps of:

  • calculating a first performance parameter by analyzing said networks sensitivity to a signal applied to said network;

    comparing said first performance parameter to at least one rule to determine a first pass condition and writing said first performance parameter to a netlist file in response to a pass to said first pass condition; and

    calculating a second performance parameter based on a first network model to determine a second pass condition in response to a fail to said first pass condition and writing said second performance parameter to said netlist file in response to a pass to said second pass condition and writing an error flag to said netlist file in response to a fail to said second pass condition.
