SYMBOLIC TIME DOMAIN BEHAVIOR AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF LINEAR ANALOG CIRCUITS

CHAKRABORTY, RITOCHIT

Abstract Details

2006, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Computer Engineering.
Automated design of analog circuits involves circuit sizing, a process of assigning numerical values to unknown parameters of a fixed circuit topology. With the advent of exemplary concepts based on determinant decision diagrams (DDDs), symbolic analysis techniques have begun to play a pivotal role in analog synthesis. Their strength lies in the ability to incorporate circuit parasitics. In this thesis, a new symbolic pole extraction algorithm based on graph theory has been proposed. Techniques aimed at developing time domain symbolic behavioral and performance models in order to expedite circuit synthesis are described. The CAD tool STDA incorporates symbolic models that analyze the time domain behavior of different classes of analog circuits. The symbolic approach to optimization-based circuit synthesis has been suggested as an alternative to the traditional numerical approach. STDA is tested extensively on a set of benchmark circuits to assess its capability, accuracy and efficiency as a CAD tool.
