Abstract :
A unified mixed-mode digital/analog simulator called Lsim is described, which combines a behavioral multidelay simulator, an RC -switch level simulator, circuit simulation based on the ADEPT algorithm, and circuit simulation based on direct solution to be used on analog circuits. The different simulation algorithms are combined into a single, consistent, unified simulation environment. Each algorithm is described, as well as the interaction between them when mixed-mode simulation is performed
