Abstract :
Many of the advances that have been made beyond SPICE, associated with the Saber simulator and the analog hardware description language MAST, are described. Saber is a comprehensive simulator spanning analog and digital domains and capable of simulating systems described by a mixture of models at the primitive, functional, and behavioral levels. MAST allows the architectural separation of modeling and simulation in the Saber environment. Similarities and differences between the simulation algorithms in Saber and SPICE are presented
