Abstract
An analysis tool has been developed to generate symbolic design equations for analog circuits. This tool (SYNAP) works in conjunction with a symbolic mathematics program (MACSYMA) to create both exact and simplified analytic expressions needed for circuit design and forms the cornerstone of a non-fixed-topology analog circuit design system. SYNAP performs DC, AC, noise, and offset analyses for time-invariant analog circuits with one stable operating point and generates code for the new design system.<>
