Abstract :
This paper presents a circuit partitioner that improves efficiency in the solution of medium and large size circuits mainly composed of MOSFETs. The peculiarity of the circuit partitioner is to exploit topological properties of elements composing the circuit, in particular their "unidirectionality".
