A Method for Analog Circuits Visualization
نویسنده
چکیده
A method for visualization of analog circuit schematic starting from a netlist is described in this paper. The images obtained have a comprehensible form, symmetrical structures and other analog topological patterns being discovered in the circuit netlist. The method is based on two algorithms. The first one, the symmetry algorithm, exploits the possibility to extract topology information from a graph representation of the circuit. The second one performs a grid expansion on a directed graph structure, using the results of the symmetry algorithm. The method has been implemented in the “A-warD” program. Test-cases demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

متن کاملModeling 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 کاملA Novel Prediction Method about Single Components of Analog Circuits Based on Complex Field Modeling
Few researches pay attention to prediction about analog circuits. The few methods lack the correlation with circuit analysis during extracting and calculating features so that FI (fault indicator) calculation often lack rationality, thus affecting prognostic performance. To solve the above problem, this paper proposes a novel prediction method about single components of analog circuits based on...
