An Approach to Integrated Numerical and Symbolic Circuit Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
An interface to symbolic circuit analysis has been developed for a SPICE-like circuit simulator in order to integrate numerical simulation with an existing program for symbolic circuit analysis. In effect, both numerical and symbolic analyses use the same internal representation of circuits which makes the two approaches truly complementary. This integrated simulation capability is used in simulation-based parameter extraction where all ac small-signal parameters are fitted through the symbolic analysis rather than numerical one, significantly reducing the execution time of the extraction process.

متن کاملCoupling of numerical and symbolic MOR techniques
Besides purely numerical model order reduction methods there also exist symbolic ones, which are indeed costly to compute, but particularly for nonlinear DAEs they additionally allow a deeper insight into the functional relations between the circuit’s components. Some symbolic methods for model order reduction will be presented. However, the development during the last years, in particular the ...
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 کاملCompact representation and efficient generation of s-expandedsymbolic network functions for computer-aided analog circuit design
A graph-based approach is presented for the generation of exact symbolic network functions in the form of rational polynomials of the complex frequency variable for analog integrated circuits. The approach employs determinant decision diagrams (DDDs) to represent the determinant of a circuit matrix and its cofactors. A notion of multiroot DDDs is introduced, where each root represents a symboli...
