چکیده
In this paper an overview of the application of symbolic analysis and computer algebra is given. After an introduction requirements to symbolic analysis tools are formulated, and a short abstract of a general symbolic equation-based approximation algorithm is given. A generic symbolic analysis flow is introduced and applied to derive a nonlinear behavioral model of an integrated multiplier circuit using the symbolic analysis toolbox Analog Insydes [1]. It will be shown how symbolic analysis can assist behavioral model generation and can help to better understand a circuit in order to improve the quality of the design.

Modeling and Simulation of Substrate Noise in Mixed-Signal Circuits Applied to a Special VCO
The mixed-signal circuits with both analog and digital blocks on a single chip have wide applications in communication and RF circuits. Integrating these two blocks can cause serious problems especially in applications requiring fast digital circuits and high performance analog blocks. Fast switching in digital blocks generates a noise which can be introduced to analog circuits by the common su...
متن کاملBalanced multi-level multi-way partitioning of analog integrated circuits for hierarchical symbolic analysis
This paper considers the problem of partitioning analog integrated circuits for hierarchical symbolic analysis based on determinant decision diagrams (DDDs). The objective is to use DDDs with the minimum number of vertices to represent all the symbolic expressions. We show that the problem can be formulated as that of multi-level multi-way hyper graph partitioning with balance constraints, and ...
متن کاملHierarchical symbolic analysis of analog integrated circuits viadeterminant decision diagrams
A new method is proposed for hierarchical symbolic analysis of large analog integrated circuits. It consists of performing symbolic suppression of each subcircuit to its terminals in terms of subcircuit matrix determinants and cofactors, and applying Cramer’s rule to symbolically solve the set of equations at the top level of the circuit hierarchy. An annotated, directed, and acyclic graph, cal...
متن کاملDirect Symbolic Analysis of Large Analog Networks
A new symbolic analysis approach for large analog integrated circuits is presented in this paper. It is based on the Coates graph representation and nodes exploding technique for construction of symbolic formulas. It can symbolically analyze large analog ICs without circuit decomposition. There are no limitations for the circuit topology and size. The analysis time and the memory required to st...
متن کاملCanonical symbolic analysis of large analog circuits withdeterminant decision diagrams
Symbolic analysis has many applications in the design of analog circuits. Existing approaches rely on two forms of symbolic-expression representation: expanded sum-of-product form and arbitrarily nested form. Expanded form suffers the problem that the number of product terms grows exponentially with the size of a circuit. Nested form is neither canonical nor amenable to symbolic manipulation. I...
