Abstract

A new and efficient symbolic analyzer for analog integrated circuits, ASAP (Analog Symbolic Analysis Program), is presented. ASAP provides symbolic expressions for all types of AC transfer and driving-point characteristics of analog integrated circuits. The resulting expressions can be automatically simplified, which makes them useful for circuit synthesis. The main features of the program are described as well as some illustrative examples showing the usefulness and efficiency of the program
