Automated extraction of fionlinear circuit macromodels
نویسنده
چکیده
Model reduction is a popular approach for incorporating detailed physical effects into high level simulations. In this paper we present a simple method for automatically extracting macromodels of nonlinear circuit with time-varying operating points. The models we generate are truly "reduced", meaning that the complexity of macromodel evaluation is not strongly dependent on the size or complexity of the original detailed circuit description.

Characterisation of Analogue Macromodels under Fault Conditions using a Probabilistic Neural Network
A technique for parameterising the macromodels of analogue circuit blocks under fault conditions is described. The technique uses a Robust Heteroscedastic Probabilistic Neural Network to classify simulation data. A large reduction in the number of fault classes can be obtained. The classification process is fast and the macromodels generated are accurate.
متن کاملPPV-HB: Harmonic Balance for Oscillator/PLL Phase Macromodel
A unique feature of oscillators is that small but sustained external perturbations lead to unboundedly large changes in phase, thereby making standard harmonic balance (HB) inapplicable to realistic oscillator phase macromodels. In this paper, we rectify this situation by presenting a novel extension of HB that is capable of handling oscillator phase macromodels. Key to the new method, termed P...

A 2-D hierarchical field solution method was recently introduced for capacitance extraction for VLSI interconnect modeling. In this paper, we present several extensions to the method including a Boundary Element Method (BEM) formulation for creating macromodels, which provides a better trade-off between accuracy and efficiency, as well as parameterized elements, which allow the analysis of grid...
