The proposed model is suitable for inclusion in general purpose circuit simulators such as SPICE and overcomes the mixed frequency/time simulation difficulties encountered during transient analysis.","PeriodicalId":209025,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2002 Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (Cat.

The implementation has 3.65 million transistors and runs at 120 MHz. Performance is competitive with high-end commercial DSP architectures and more than five times faster than a commercial microprocessor.
