Can you just explain little more..i understood that Emulation frequency will be in Mhz and Simulation will be in Khz and in prototyping too frequency will be in Mhz..but what
is the difference between Emulation and prototyping...
These three items are on a spectrum. In the prototype you have a physical circuit that works in the physical world.
On the opposite spectrum end is a simulation. You get a mathematical output of tabulated numbers or a graph. If it is a time domain analysis the computer time taken for the calculations may be different than the real world time simulated.
In the midddle is emulation. This is a hybrid of the two. One example is from the early days of microprocessors. There were computer programs with built in diagnostics that had the same function as a microprocessor. There was an interface cable from the compuer which had a plug that would fit into a PC card socket for the microprocessor to be emulated. The external PC card and circuitry would run as if there were a real microprocessor in the socket. The human could interface with the computer program diagnostics to find errors in the code stored on the PC card ROM.
