Circuit simulation techniques are fundamental to the design and verification of today’s electronic systems. The field of circuit simulation has seen exciting development ever since the advent of integrated circuits. Modern integrated circuits continually challenge circuit simulation algorithms and implementations with the various verification problems they pose. This course presents the theoretical and practical aspects of the building a circuit simulator, such as SPICE. It introduces numerical algorithms and computer-aided techniques for the simulation of electronic circuits. Students will learn the state of the art and future challenges in simulating and analyzing electronic circuits. Theoretical and practical aspects of important analyses techniques: circuit formulation methods, large-signal nonlinear DC, small-signal AC and moment matching, transient, inductive modeling, and reduction techniques. Recent advances in timing, thermal, and RF circuit analysis.
