Abstract :
This paper discusses a hierarchical approach to sensitivity analysis, based on the sequence of expressions method for circuit optimization applications. This approach finds a minimal set of symbolic equations needed for symbolic sensitivity analysis during the simulation phase. Results presented will show that the cost of the sensitivity analysis can be minimal, compared with other numeric methods
