Abstract :
The symbolic analysis of analog circuits and systems is made easy by the use of the SSA tool. The input description of the system to be studied is done with a file description or, more conveniently, using the Cadence or the Simulink graphic environments. Libraries of basic blocks enable the description of complex systems, including high-order sigma-delta modulators. The symbolic results produce various types of output depending on the kind of post-processing required. Examples of use of the tool are provided.
