Worst Case Analysis of the Analog Circuits
نویسنده
چکیده
An approach of the worst case analysis of the analog electronic circuits based on the circuit description in parameter space is proposed. A DC, AC or transient worst-case analysis can be performed only testing the circuit for the vertices of a polytope in conjunction with a circuit simulator or computational environment. In order to validate and show the effectiveness of this approach, DC worst-case analyses of analog electronic circuits with symmetrical and asymmetrical tolerances in conjunction with a generalpurpose circuit simulator are presented and discussed. Key-Words: Tolerance, Analog electronic circuit, Worst case analysis.
