Abstract :
An intuitive behavioral modelling language is introduced within the circuit simulator URECA. The URECA language is constructed using operators as extensions to the netlist format commonly found in analog simulators such as SPICE. The operators have been developed to model input/output behavior in mixed signal circuits and describe common analog behavioral qualities. Several mixed analog/digital circuit examples are simulated using this language, and the accuracy and processing speed are discussed
