Abstract :
A fully automatic method for generating behavioral models for nonlinear analog circuits is presented. This method is based on simplifications of the system of nonlinear differential equations which is derived from a transistor level netlist. Generated models include nonlinear dynamic behavior. They are composed of symbolic equations comprising circuit parameters. Accuracy and simulation speed-up are shown by several examples
