The paper describes the recent state of the art in hierarchical analog synthesis, with a strong
emphasis on associated techniques for computer-aided model generation and optimization …

Phase noise is a topic of theoretical and practical interest in electronic circuits, as well as in
other fields such as optics. Although progress has been made in understanding the …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the modeling aspect of differential-algebraic
equations (DAEs). In computational engineering, the network modeling approach forms the …

The analysis and prediction of nonlinear behavior in electronic circuits has long been a topic
of concern for analog circuit designers. The recent explosion of interest in portable …

Engineering productivity in integrated circuit product design and-velopment today is limited
largely by the effectiveness of the CAD tools used. For those domains of product design that …

Radio-frequency (RF) circuits exhibit several distinguishing characteristics that make them
difficult to simulate using traditional SPICE transient analysis. The various extensions to the …

Efficient and robust computation of one or more of the operating points of a nonlinear circuit
is a necessary first step in a circuit simulator. The application of globally convergent …

Widely separated time scales arise in many kinds of circuits, e, g., switched-capacitor filters,
mixers, switching power converters, etc. Numerical solution of such circuits is often difficult …

The operation of semiconductor devices is based on charge transport, ie on the motion of
free carriers in the conduction and valence bands. Under the effect of applied external forces …

In electronic circuit and system design, the word noise is used to refer to any undesired
excitation on the system. In other contexts, noise is also used to refer to signals or excitations …
