Abstract :
This work presents a generic approach for constructing implicit homotopies using Analog and Mixed Signal (AMS) Hardware Description Languages (HDL). The proposed method uses the most basic features of various AMS HDLs thus making it suitable for a wide variety of commercial and publicly available simulators. This approach does not require any modifications to the underlying circuit simulator.
