This tutorial paper gives an overview of the history and present state of the art in symbolic
analysis of electronic circuits at the so-called circuit level. Symbolic analysis is defined as a …

This survey presents an overview of recent advances in the state of the art for computer-
aided design (CAD) tools for analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs). Analog …

We describe a new method for determining component values and transistor dimensions for
CMOS operational amplifiers (op-amps). We observe that a wide variety of design objectives …

This paper proposes new pathological element-based active device models which can be
used in analysis tasks of linear (ized) analog circuits. Nullators and norators along with the …

An approach is presented for the analysis of the nonlinear behavior of analog integrated
circuits. The approach is based on a variant of the Volterra series approach for frequency …

A symbolic analysis tool is presented that generates simplified symbolic expressions for the
small-signal characteristics of large analog integrated circuits. The expressions are …

In this paper, an evolutionary-based multi-objective criterion is introduced for simplified
symbolic small-signal analysis of analog circuits containing MOSFETs. After circuit analysis …
