Abstract :
PC-based analog circuit design systems are discussed. Math tools for solving equations that describe the proposed behavior of the circuit, either symbolically or numerically, are described. Schematic capture programs for drawing blocks and circuits are surveyed, as are simulation packages. Tables giving information on representative packages are provided.<>
