Abstract
Symbolic analysis of analog circuits is important in analog design automation. However, it is limited to the analysis of small analog circuits where exact symbolic expressions are required. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for partitioning large general analog circuits into smaller subcircuits so that symbolic analysis can be performed hierarchically. Experimental results have demonstrated that our method outperforms the best partitioning-based symbolic analyzer SCAPP.
