TOPIC AREA: PHYSICAL CIRCUIT DESIGN | ||
| SESSION 50 | |||
| Numerical Techniques for Simulation | |||
| Chair: Joel R. Phillips - Cadence Design Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA | |||
| Organizers: Jacob K. White, Kartikeya Mayaram | |||
| The five papers in this session on numerical techniques address a variety of issues in simulation. In the first paper, the problem of simulating complicated analog and RF circuits is addressed using a combination of partitioning, macromodeling, and iteration. The second paper examines the numerical stability issues associated with handling two time scale problems with multitime partial differential equation methods. The problems of predicting substrate noise in mixed signal systems is addressed in the third paper. Techniques for improving simulation efficiency is the subject of the last two short papers. The first paper of the pair exploits hierarchy to accelerate symbolic analysis and the second paper describes the latest approaches for using table models in circuit simulation. | |||
