Study and development of an efficient RC-in-RC-out MOR method

Abstract

This paper outlines the study and development of an efficient RC-in-RC-out model-order reduction (MOR) method suitable for reduction of very large sized RC circuits or the RC circuit parts of a non-RC circuit. The MOR is carried out on a partitioned circuit, which enables the use of low-order moments and macromodels of few elements. This benefit translates to a typical 10-100 times faster simulation with only a minimal error. The performance of the MOR method is evaluated with simulations and compared with other MOR algorithms.
