Computing Symbolic Expressions in Analog Circuits Using Nullors
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel method is introduced to compute symbolic expressions in analog circuits modeled by nullors. The proposed method is based on the formulation of a compact system of equations (CSEs) by manipulation of data-structures, which highly improves traditional symbolic-methods. It is demonstrated that by modeling all active devices using nullors, the CSEs is easily formulated by manipulation of both the nullor and admittance interconnectionrelationships. Several examples leads us to conclude on the suitability of the proposed symbolic-method to be incorporated within a symbolic simulator.

SIASCA: Interactive System for the Symbolic Analysis of Analog Circuits
An interactive system called SIASCA which automates the calculation of symbolic expressions (SEs) representing the dominant behavior of analog circuits, is introduced. SIASCA includes a more general class of active devices whose behavior is modeled at different levels of abstraction using nullors in order to enhance the capability of symbolic analysis to calculate simplified SEs.

متن کاملBalanced Multi-Level Multi-Way Partitioning of Large Analog Circuits for Hierarchical Symbolic Analysis
Abstract: Symbolic analsis of analog circuits is important in analog design automation. However, it is limited to the analysis of small analog circuits where exact symbolic expressions are required. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for partitioning large general analog circuits into smaller subcircuits so that symbolic analysis can be performed hierarachically. Experimental resu...
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...
متن کاملGraph-Based Symbolic Technique and Its Application in the Frequency Response Bound Analysis of Analog Integrated Circuits
A new graph-based symbolic technique (GBST) for deriving exact analytical expressions like the transfer function H(s) of an analog integrated circuit (IC), is introduced herein. The derived H(s) of a given analog IC is used to compute the frequency response bounds (maximum and minimum) associated to the magnitude and phase of H(s), subject to some ranges of process variational parameters, and b...
متن کاملAn heuristic circuit-generation technique for the design-automation of analog circuits
An heuristic method to generate the topology of analog circuits at the most abstract level of design, is introduced. The generation approach is divided into two steps: the small-signal and bias-circuitry levels of design. The f irst step is focused on coupling four-nullators and four-norators bridges. The second step is focused on biasing nullator-norator pairs. The nullors in the generated cir...
